      … it is code???

      in the mouths of those using pdf where contextually makes more sense that they’re saying pedophile, e.g. on media sites that censor or demonetise or shadowban for using the word pedophile, yes. this neologistical phonetical synonym is secret code enough to get past censors apparently.

        I’m going to watch out for this but I’ve never heard it before, and .pdf is literally the only format that will look the same to everyone reading it so I’m gonna keep liking it. Nothing yucky about it.
