Over the past few months, I've observed a disturbing trend in CAPTCHA, the word verification system Blogger uses to ensure that the people leaving you comments are normal humans and not computer-generated spammers. Take this gem for instance:
Now, I know it's not an exact spelling of the feminine hygiene product or that name my husband loves to call people who drive slow in the fast lane (d-bag), but still, it's a questionable choice for word verification, dontcha think?
And what about this one? Again, I know it's "misspelled" but still - What the %@*#?!
Then there's this doozy, my favorite of this trifecta - an actual curse word spelled correctly, and worst of all, presented when I was leaving a comment on a mommy blog that focuses on Christ and makes a point of abstaining from questionable, offensive or adult content. Say it with me now - What the %@*#?!
Call me juvenile, but I laugh out loud everytime I get a CAPTCHA word that's the least bit dirty. I feel like Beavis or Butthead cracking myself up over a dirty word. Heh, heh. She said crack. Heh, heh.
Do you pay attention to your CAPTCHA words? Do they ever make you laugh? Recently, when reading comments over at Cake Wrecks, I noticed people copying their CAPTCHA words into their comments and creating their own definitions for them. Things like:
WV*: Halis. As in, “What the halis wrong with these cakes?”
or
WV: Unsoc, as in, “Excuse me while I unsoc my feet.”
Hilarious right? In fact, it's so amusing to me that I'm turning word verification back on for a few days so we can all play along. I encourage (beg) you to use your CAPTCHA word in a sentence at the end of any comments you leave on my blog this week. There might just be a prize involved for one or two lucky commenters!
WV = word verification

Over at Stuff Christians Like, the wv (word verification) game has been going on for a while. It took me a little while to "get" what folks were doing in their comments, but now I read most of them just to laugh at their wv definitions. I'll use mine for this comment as an example:
wv-catel definition--a hotel for cats.
This cracked me up. Thanks for the good laugh tonight.
I promise I wont be dismsive, no lie dismsive, was my WV. Spelled close enough for me.
LMAO!!! I always analyze those words. I finally got a good one last night. "BREST"
I forgot to leave my sentence. Doh!
My darn boy just won't stop werm idn. Idn werms is just too gross for me.
WV-wermidn

LOL! Alright, here it goes.... I'm having a very bad case of putbuff. Please send NAIR!!!
Putbuff... Bahahahaha!!!!
I am so glad I am not the only one who laughs at these things! And a GAME?! you're awesome!
Stopping by from SITS! Love your blog :)
Oh and my sentence: "I'mb going to deed an exobbl of what you are dalking about" (said with stuffy nose)
hrmph. It's all I got.
I never notice what are these words lol so now took the time...
poliessi....maybe some form of politeness
LOL, we are all children, i love getting a rude one, the day i got shitz i laughed so hard, my husband thought i was gonna choke! how sad, i need a life lol!!
I've wondered this too! And it seems like it comes up alot more now than the other words.
I'm with you! LOL! They crack me up. Of course, you are aware that the word 'prick' could just as easily refer to pricking ones finger on a thorn or some such innocent context, right? LOL! That's okay...I would have gone there, too! HA!
When i get one that is funny I always let the person know. I am not super good at being hilarious, but I will try.
WV:getone
Some people just don't have a clue. Maybe they should getone!
ROFL! I had FART the other day.....
I'm glad someone has the same sense of humor that I have! LOVE IT! You so made me laugh.
I always try to come up with something crazy out of the words I get.
I got shisju from your's today.
"Oh shis, ju just got spilled on the floor!"
Ah Crap!! I do this all the time. Im a Closet-Captcha-Cracker-Upper. Sooooo glad Im not the only one and soooo not surprised your the other one. :) BTW...got the cd. Did you burn it? cause it wasnt opened. I sure hope you did cause I have a sexual experience every time I listen to it!!
Too funny!! Visiting from SITS
HAHAHAHAHA This is so cute! Stopping by from SITS to leave some hump day love!
You are so funny, I love visiting your blog. I will have to pay more attention to the sign in codes. I do have lots of fun trying to figure out license plates.
I love reading the definitions of those captcha "words" LOL (and I, too, laugh at the dirty ones *sighs* my life is fairly uneventful).
catulnes ~ Unlike frog legs, fish eggs and mountain oysters, cattle knees just haven't caught on as a delicacy.
"Untals"--- as in my kids have 3 untals (uncles)... Untal Mark, Untal Brian, and Untal Adam:-)
This IS fun. But I was a little sad that I did not get a dirty one...
They make me laugh all the time:-)
That was hilarious!
And with that post, I just know that I need to add you to my blogroll. Anyone that can make lemonade come out of my nose - is a sure friend! lol x
LOVE it! I'll have to pay more attention to my CAPTCHAs.
wv: artheep - the discard pile by an artist's trashbin
You can rate the cartoonist's day by the size of his artheep.
I may have to try this on my blog...too funny!
HA! That is funny! I have missed What the %@*#?!
I always pay attention to the CAPTCHA words, and yes, I always snicker and giggle when it's a naughty sounding word!
This time it's REAVEN -- that's a raven with a superiority complex.
Okay, so I laugh when the word is naughty too! But this time I got "soles", as in, the "soles" of my feet need some serious exfoliation. :)
Those are so funny! I was cracking up as I read them! I have noticed some crazy ones too!
Hilarious post!
briallys - "Mom, I was trying to pick the berries but all the briallys were getting me." Sounds like something my six year old would tell me.
I always laugh at my captchas! They make the most ridiculous words
What a fun post! Those "words" crack me up sometimes.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! on your blurb book win!! You are so cool!!!
Thanks for the laugh. I'll have to stick this in a folder for when I need a chuckle... now where did that voldergo? (Best I could do; it's late and I'm sleepy).
This was hilarious! Loved all of it. I dont get that funny of words unfortunalty. Mine here is litife. I cant think of ANY way to use it in a sentence or anything. I guess I lose. :(
Love and Prayers,
Tim
To add to TuTu's Bliss' wv..."Her putbuff has the 'furis'...
You know you are so right. Some of those captcha words are so funny.
Here's mine as I post this comment - ingstal. In a sentence - I'm glad that you decided to 'ingstal' captcha so we could play this fun game.
Have a great weekend!
Just had to see what I got..."reysl"- what you get when you mix raisins in a soft pretzel.
I tried a reysl at the concession stand and it was delicious!
LOL, I have noticed them, too!
