A forum I used to post at long ago had a filter that would replace the N-ending-with-A-word with 'nubian'.  Thus, an obsolete synonym for 'paltry' would be rendered as 'nubianrdly'.

The regular N-word would be replaced with 'I am a racist!' or 'I am an idiot!', depending whether it was in the text or the headline.

There was this hack site that made that word turn into successful and attractive something something.

Not sure  what ever became of that site
