Only words within words?
What about corrections like fucking → ? Is there a name for these? – Jberkel 07:23, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

"classic" with "ass" replaced by "butt". Is often mentioned as an erroneous output produced by censorware, but I don't think it's used outside that specific context. Equinox ◑ 01:22, 2 September 2017 (UTC)

Mostly the word is used to refer to the mistake made by censorware, in phrases such as the "clbuttic error", "clbuttic mistake" or "clbuttic effect", but a few people on the newsgroups seem to be using it as a synonym for "classic" in an attempt at humour.

 * I don't think the censorware sense should be an adjective. It's not "an error that is clbuttic" but "the 'clbuttic' error", a bit like "his recurrent 'seperate' misspelling". Equinox ◑ 09:39, 2 September 2017 (UTC)


 * And using this as a cite in "English" is being very generous IMO. BigDom 06:59, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Besides, not everything with a name separated by dots is Usenet. This is just an ordinary Google Group without any connection to Usenet, and useless for CFI. Chuck Entz (talk) 13:31, 5 September 2017 (UTC)
 * That's a Usenet group; see another Usenet archive. I don't know about the modern state of Usenet, but there used to be lots of lesser used hierarchies like uk.*.--Prosfilaes (talk) 02:23, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

/kəlˈbʌ.tɪk/ or /kləˈbʌ.tɪk/?
Seeing as /kl/ is a perfectly valid cluster in English, wouldn't it be /kləˈbʌ.tɪk/? Or is /kəlˈbʌ.tɪk/ intended to represent a surface realization of [kl̩ˈbʌ.tɪk]? Not that I'd imagine this word is actually said out loud all that often. Cyllel (talk) 16:22, 18 November 2023 (UTC)


 * I am removing the pron. Evidently made up. Nobody ever says this aloud. Equinox ◑ 16:25, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
