    How do you remove slurs from a boardgame where you pick and place letters?

        Would only really be relevant for tournaments, except the organizing bodies of which aren’t affiliated with Hasbro and have their own sets of words and drama over them. People playing casually can just have house rules about whether slurs are or aren’t accepted and what counts as one.

          Well yeah. When we play Scrabble, the house rule is ‘English Wiktionary’

            We used to play “if you can convince me it’s a word, it counts”. I got a triple word score on zaxticuous and that shit got shut down. It means: Having the property or appearance of Zach Morris from Saved by the Bell.

        I’ll accept it if its obviously a real word, no matter how offensive it is.

        Not if it requires a capital letter though. I’m not a complete animal.
