    It would be pretty obscure slang if Google (or Gemini) have never known it used as such….

    I mostly love OB and use it quite a bit, never had anything go wrong with it. If there was, I would contact CS of the initiating provider.

    what I don't like about OB is that the transaction description if mainly meaningless. So it's not easy to identify what a payment was for if you look at your transaction list or statement unless you keep a separate record

    It gave me a couple of good suggestions, although not risque enough for the profanity filter:

    Finexer (verb): The act of dating someone exclusively for their high-yield savings account or insider trading tips, only to "exit" the relationship the moment the market dips.

    “I thought we had something special, but she was just a finexer—she ghosted me as soon as my portfolio hit the red.”

    Finexer (noun): Derived from Fine + Ex. A person who becomes incredibly wealthy and attractive immediately after a messy breakup just to ruin their former partner's mental health via Instagram.

    “Look at his LinkedIn update—he’s gone full finexer since the divorce.”

    To save others having to check the other thread - the implicit response is that words can be added to the filter list when there are several new accounts rapidly posting them (e.g. as domain names) in a short period of time, e.g. possibly someone trying to advertise themselves via multiple forum posts. The common term for such an approach is 'astroturfing'.

    Can't confirm or deny the above of course…
