Candidates for an expanded swear filter
To lighten the mood on here a bit, anyone got any words or phrases that could be added to the eccentric swear filter that we occasionally fall foul of. I've got a couple that would raise a smile.

Reach Out becomes Reach Around (one for the pedants)

Can we do 'go nice places, do good things' for AK, Sonder and Alpkit?? Just thinking out loud...
Maybe we could call it 'it cracked'
sorry... I know they're good people (Shirley)...

Re: Candidates for an expanded swear filter
Can we have a full list of existing swear filter words?

Re: Candidates for an expanded swear filter
ok here we go... of the moment, I feel....
campfire > mess ? (as in "we arrived at our bivvy spot and as always the first thing we did was make a huge....")
or maybe campfire > 'hot tub'?

Re: Candidates for an expanded swear filter
Which one, the bike+gear or the tarp?

Please please substitute 'running' with 'using' as well.
And it might be fun to switch:
have > of
were > where
than > then
(plenty of others)
to really annoy the grammar police like me

Good game anyway!

In the spirit of fostering adventure I’d vote for a rule that’s toggled on and off randomly and swaps East for West and North for South.
Highly dangerous? Possibly ...

Of course Gravel was one of the Slag brothers in 'Wacky Races'. The other guy was Rock. They drove the 'Bouldermobile' if you remember
