Monkey Crotch [Pakistan's list of banned words]

Pakistan, wonderfully repressive Pakistan, is one of those places in the world where they censor the internet, but now they're planning to censor texts as well.
Their government came up with some 1,000+ English words (and a lot of Urdu words) which would be censored. Many of the words are the kinds you would expect to see on such a list (you know, the kind that get censored here at PC, too), and some of them are not explicit, but you can still see why they'd be censored. And then there are some real gems.
Here are a few of the words you won't be able to text in Pakistan in the near future:
sex
sexy
gay
queer
butt
intercourse
condom
breast
period
tampon
deposit
fondle
flatulence
fairy
lolita
boody
barf
fart
love juice
mary jane
strap-on
pocket pool
quickie
back door
manpaste
love pistol
gonorrehea (spelled wrong)
headlights
purina princess
wuutang
got jesus
kmart
monkey crotch
I would include the full list of banned words, but obviously that would be a bad idea here.
EVERYBODY USE THESE WORDS WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

How often does someone say "monkey crotch"? I live in a country that predominantly speaks English, and there are a few there that are new to me. If you can't say "k-mart", can you say "wal-mart"?Posted November 21st, 2011 at 11:07 AM by CookieCookie
