I was just wondering if anyone knows all the words that are changed by woots filter and the reason behind them. I can understand the refurb (rox0rz!) and Bandolier of Carrots, but c.o.o.l to ribs? I don't get it.

I first sucker-ed 3 times. Oh yeah.

or check out the Text-only version - same features, no picture
or maybe you want a software app (DSWoot 1.0) to keep track of the woot-off.

if you go to urbandictionary.com and look up 'ribs' it will make perfect sense.

Look at the glossary at BagsOfCrap.com... It doesn't have ALL of them (because I don't want to advertise competing sites)...

you might want to add that C [zero] [zero] L gets replaced with "like, mcribs!"

Recently, "penguins" became "incontinent cougars."

There's also "snuffleupagus," but I won't directly reveal what that one is.

Same with "smurf," "doody" and don't forget "meanie."

Also, everyone has seen "refurb (rox0rz!)."

"Killa" is "I'm wearing poopie diapers."

I don’t know what the rational behind all of these additions to the word filter, but it sure makes the discussion threat a little more interesting during the woot-off.

Oh, I was going to ask what a word was, but it is in the quote box.
sigh.......after all this time you would think I knew that.

Damn, I miss the ribs one. Sometimes when I see "ribs" (on some page, for some perfectly normal, legitimate, non-goofy reason), I get a little jolt of happy-brain, associating it for a few nano-seconds with woot.

I was passing a car wash one day and the marquee said "free vacuum" and I read it as "free suc.ks" at first.
