Line 735:
* The third ''[[Sly Cooper]]'' game had a level inhabited with pirates who came up with some rather amusing insults rather than traditional profanity. The title character even lampshades this at one point.
* In a probably unintentional example - being a game targeted to a younger audience - within the game ''[[Mechquest]]'', there was a holiday event in which you could go into a house where a randomized NPC would say a rumor about your character. One included: "I heard that *your character name* does somersaults with Nurse Helia!" Nurse Helia is female, if you were wondering. Or maybe [[Freud Was Right]] in just my case.
* In the [[Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game|MMORPG]] ''[[Puzzle Pirates]]'', the game client allowed three settings for filtering swear words: Leave them unfiltered, turn them into %* $#@! and the like, or "Pirate-ize" them, making them acceptable terms. This generated such phrases as, "We're all scuppered." Even the simple acronym "wtf" would be translated into "Blistering blue barnacles!" - a [[Shout-Out]] to ''[[Tintin]]''.
** For certain sexual terms, the "Pirate-ize" filter will substitute "John Thomas" and "harmonica lesson". The full list is available [http://yppedia.puzzlepirates.com/List_of_known_filtered_words here].
* Internet humorist Seanbaby did this [https://web.archive.org/web/20130911200143/http://www.seanbaby.com/nes/naughty06.htm in this article about adult video games], replacing sexual terms with the names of vehicles (NOTE: Link is definitely [[NSFW]]).
