One that struck me was the "<slash>gall<slash>" entry. I assume it's from some email that tries to helpfully connect people with pictures of well-endowed females (presumably "gall" is short for "gallery"), but it's also a simple and short english word. Tha _gall_ of some people to do things like that! Imagine if I tried to write that in italics rather than underlined? Similarly, while cursing is fine (goodie - otherwise half my emails would get eaten :^), and I can say "Goddamn everybody to Hell", I would be in trouble if I wrote "Jesus H Christ, that's stupid" and didn't have that 'H' in there. And trigegring on "god<space>fearing" is apparently also a sure-fire way to get rid of the religious nuttery spam without ever triggering in normal cases? Really? That said, most of the taboo list is pretty amusing and I suspect hard to trigger in any real email. But parts of that list do look pretty debatable.
