There is another funny / annoying banned word in German. Or rather, a group of words. Everything that includes "arsch" somewhere (which you can easily look up in a German-English dictionary, I won't do that for you ;) ) is going to get banned. As German words are sometimes set together using several words the gallery simply bans anything that includes these five letters anywhere.
Here are some examples of the hilarity that ensues:
Nachbarschaft. English translation: neighbourhood
Warschau. English translation: Warsaw (yes, Warsaw, the capital of Poland :D )
Radarschüssel. English translation: radar dish
Barschfänger. English translation: someone who fishes perches (likewise, "Barsch" is banned but it means nothing else than "perch")
As you can clearly see, none of these have particularly much in common with "arsch". Nachbarschaft for example is a mix of "Nachbar" and "schaft" so they aren't even perceived with that meaning by anyone.
I already made a bug report for that almost two months ago, but nothing has changed yet. Actually, I made fun of it by creating a Sim called Marschall Radarschüssel (Marshal Radar Dish) right after writing that bug report. Obviously though I couldn't upload him to the gallery yet :joy:
But I have to thank the gallery. Thank it for never being able to read "Warschau" in the same way ever again :D :D
