The Cellar - View Single Post - NYC Dept. Of Ed. Wants 50 ‘Forbidden’ Words Banned From Standardized Tests

I once worked for a company that wanted to make sure employees were not using offensive words for passwords. Since passwords are never meant to be shared, I really could not see the logic.

So someone created a list of combinations of dirty words that could fit into eight characters. The list had 100-200 entries and was by no means complete. When I came across it at first I was shocked and then I just laughed.
