One of the online games I like to play is a golfing game. Again, a Korean offering.
You couldn't say the word "hole."
In a golf game.

Oh, the game RF-Online censors the words 'spawn' 'mob' or 'frag'. It doesn't just bleep them, you're unable to send the message AT ALL, and it doesn't tell you which word was blocked. HOW a newbie is supposed to ask where they go kill stuff is beyond me... but the game totally sucked anyway, so no loss there.

I use British swears because no one in America understands them. My co-workers and high school friends were very shocked that I coud swear at all when I was younger.
What constitutes British swears? Mostly we say f***, sh** and d**n. I suppose b*gg*r and b*gg*ration is British (or English at least).
I do recall going in to a screen at work as a film finished and loudly cursing about something that was annoying me, only to realise there was a man and child in the front row, watching the closing credits.

I'd imagine British swears are usually thought of like pillo*k (sp?) or drozy bas*ard, or bollo*ks

Don't forget "bloody".

Oh, I learned to cuss in other languages, just so I could get away with it. French, German, Spanish (Thanks Mom), Chinese (Thanks Joss), and even a bit of Russian. That, combined with spitting them though my teeth and jumbled up together, I've gotten away with it for years!
The proper term is "cup" for the physical opening in the ground, and the proper term for getting the ball into the cup in one hit is "ace".

But wouldn't you still need to say "I'm playing the 8th hole right now"? Rather than "I'm currently teeing off to the fairway attached to the 8th cup"?
Another seaman on the SS Biyotchalot. I learned all my cursewords from my mother, who hates to be reminded of that. These days, having grown up into a foul-tempered young man I curse constantly. I also scream at the phone when it rings at work and no one's around.

Well, now that I'm thinking about it, the prohibited "term" was anything that had an H followed immediately by an O. So you couldn't say things like "hole in one" or "nice shot" or ask any question that began with the word "how."
And it wouldn't tell you why your comment was changed, it would just throw up a stock phrase it used every time someone ran afoul of the censor.
They actually took that out after a few months. I guess they got enough well-written complaints about how stupid that particular filter was.
