BAN HIM BAN HIM BAN HIM!
Maybe it wasn't included in the filter as SR were expecting a flood of threads on how they are excellent for resting your legs on, and how you don't see many of them in your average household anymore.
(thats the furniture variety, incase there are any people who didn't know that)
poof
wrote that without a comma, fullstop or question mark at the end of the word.... to see if the word is deemed by the filter to be an excludable word.
If this gets posted I'll report it myself to see if it gets deleted
[Please note: Special Reserve moderators are too busy to entertain people abusing the swear filter, any further tinkering will result in the ban-hands of Snuggly raining down like thunder, thank you]

there are a few words that were once used to offend, but are now used on the whole with no offence caused (I'm not stupid enough to repeat any of them), yet these words still can cause offence if taken the wrong way or if said/written in an offensive tone/manner.
