    Same here. The infuriating tragedy of self-censoring or algospeak aside, “Ahh” is phonetically not even close to “ass”. If we’re going this route, wouldn’t something like “Goofy S Car” be much closer?

      I’m not fully integrated into the history etc but I was under the impression that ahh was one of those things taken from aave as opposed to being a form of self censorship.
