I like to start talking to them like they're talking to me. "He says my discharge is Gonorrhea". Me: " I hear that really hurts maybe you should take it easy on the booze next Saturday night".

This is the norm for anyone over 50 in China. And not unusual at all for those under 50. To make it even better, both parties yell into the phone. This allows you to hear the conversation from 50 feet away. The yelling into the phone is likely necessary because there are several others nearby on the phone at the same time. Ah, the joy of daylong cacophony.

I am currently on an Amtrak train from NYC to Mystic Connecticut and I have heard two conversations broadcast loudly. The first was I assumed a black guy telling a story of a series of shootings to his friend. The victims all known to him and his friend. It was absolutely peppered with ***** this ***** that, F that F him. Absolutely no shame or self awareness. I look around and heâ€s Puerto Rican or something. I am in Business class by the way!! I walk to the dining car through several carriages and overhear a black woman loudly proclaim, on speaker phone no less, “ that MFing bitch canâ€t even afford to live in MFing Boston bitchâ€, repeated in ever louder declarations many times. I am so glad I live in Park City.

The starred out word begins with N and ends in A and has an igg in the middle. Wtf is up with the censoring?

It's the host site software doing this, not Zigbee.

I think censoring more in line of you not being able to convey what was said.  Word filters are needed in a public forum or you have a myriad of things going back and forth and it's really never good.  Knowing this many use some restraint in word choices.

Thanks for the explanation. I apologize any offense was caused, I was trying to quote the guy accurately.

The A ending doesn't even trick the filter software.
Need more words like, "the word that ends in e-r and has two g's an i and a n."
Never-mind, that is ginger.

That's because there IS NO SOFTWARE.  It's a compendium of words I compile and that's one of them.
