compuswear

Definition

The practice of creatively misspelling curse words to bypass automated content filters on forums and social media. Words like "fr*ck," "$h!t," and "@$$hole" let you express yourself while playing word-filter limbo.

Example Usage

The mods kept flagging my posts, so I switched to compuswear like 'wh00t' and 'd@mn' instead.
