Lee Hadden sent over This One on an email security filter used by Yahoo! that is inventing bizarre new words.
The company\’s security filter automatically deletes web code that could be used by hackers and replaces it with innocuous words. For example, \”eval\” is converted to \”review\”, \”mocha\” is changed into \”espresso\” and \”expression\” replaced with \”statement\”. The substitutions are made even if the phrase appears within a word.
