Is the thing the person is referring to actually "full of awe"?


Likely not.

The forum software has a swear filter (it's just word substitution) so as well as the usual stuff Stu has added some more. So R a p h a becomes "expensive hipster brand" and r I g become "bike".

Nothing sinister, just Stu having a laugh, of course these things take on a life of their own.

This one in particular ... many people use the word completely out of context and use it to describe fairy ordinary and sometimes even mundane things. The filter simply conveys what they're really trying to say. :wink:

If you're taking suggestions on expanding the list, can I venture "can I get?" to be substituted with "I'm a cockwomble"

Unfortunately, and rather like R i g, "can I get" is a perfectly sensible phrase in the correct context.

It made me chuckle and wonder what others are there lurking to be discovered.
