In the profanity list in our mail server at work one of the phrases that are blocked for being profanity is "antique farm equipment". Anyone ever heard of this as being profanity? If so, from where did it originate?!

its a slur towards Blacks, as it is refering to Black Slaves.

The only reason I know it is because of some racial slur database.

Well that's that cleared up then. Don't think that term has migrated to the UK before.

So I Googled, and in the first 100 hits I see NO reference to "antique farm equipment" being used as a racial slur.

This is absurd.

Look at the letters in between the words.

"¡Que farme!" is one of the worst racial slurs you can say in Spanish.

The only way I know it is because I grew up in redneck country. :)

For some reason AltaVista translates the single word 'farme' to "Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces to me". :confused:

Probably to filter out some sort of spam that went around in the past.

It's not a question, it's an exclamation. 'Que' is "that", 'Qué' is "what".

Yeah...I was bluffing guys. Sorry ;)

Babelfish says "¡Qué farme!" means "what Officers' Club of Revolutionary Armed Forces to me!"
