This is a preliminary concept - a first draft - so it most likely needs to be expanded. Some things - like the "d-f-l-b-g" word - were terms used in potentially insulting statements. For example, I was once told that my life had less value than a "fruit loop" (I'm not making this up - yesterday afternoon I could have provided a link!). If other people who remember that statement had started calling each other "fruit loop" it would have the same significance. It's a variation of the "you're [stupid]" idea but those who didn't witness the original interaction would be at a loss to explain why "fruit loop" was treated like a naught word. The whining... well... that's not against the TOS unless it's done in an attacking manner (as far as I can tell). And one person's whine is someone else's serious, legitimate issue. The threats aren't accomodated in the Matrix (that sounds kind of corny doesn't it) yet. I didn't even think of them. I was primarily focused on insulting insinuations and stuff like that. Maybe they should be. The point is still to create a common reference for when questions arise. What else does this need?

Before they made me they broke the mold!
