      Proud of our strong filter. It’s the strongest filter, isn’t it?

      But I also have no idea what word that was. It feels weird to be thinking so hard about it but “…rdly” just gets me. I have no idea what word could come before that and be a slur

      I guess my slur-dar is not very good

        N-word, ending with a. I don’t think the two words are actually related, but the -rdly form is so archaic it’s only used by people who want to say the slur part.

          It predates the slur from an unrelated etymology, but it’s primary use in the year of our Lord 2024 is to avoid slur filters with “”“plausible”“” deniability. Not that online platforms regularly police these things.
