Make sure you don't have add-ons like this enabled on any webpage you plan on inputting text, as depending on how the text input is implemented, you may have your words swapped without realizing it. But if those substitutions are appealing to you, then by all means use the add-on.

From “Showstopper!: The Breakneck Race to Create Windows NT and the Next Generation at Microsoft”. Seems like the term is fairly old.

MORE OF THIS. This exactly the sort of silliness we need to counter..well everything.

"Cloud to Butt" was the peak of these for me because it offered a genuine reusable joke (things like "Butt Management Portal", "Butt usage up 25% YoY", etc) rather than a one-off humorous name calling.
