...and reported the first part of my username to the MSE moderators as a rude word? I.e. t-w-u-n-t renders as !!!!!.

I've posted the same question on Site Feedback but no moderator has answered me yet: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3051284

Example below:


And the result! ... >>

And who on Earth takes the Urban Dictionary seriously? Quote it in a dissertation and you'd be kicked out of university.

Unless you were studying the spawning of neologisms on the interclout. Possibly.
