Hey... I just found out that "Cakewalk" is racist...
At least according to "America's Secret Slang" which I'm watching on TV. Turns out that it was a dance contest that slaves used to participate in for the entertainment of their "owners" (geeze, what a despicable term) and that the prize was actually a cake...hence the phrase "that takes the cake". Plus I learned many of the language contributions that mine own people...them damn Irish...are responsible. Not the least of which is "nincompoop". Which, you know, is something to be proud of.

I don't mind admitting that I'm a racist.  Yeah baby! The Human race all the way, ET can take a hike!  (So does "nin" mean "dot" in Irish?  )

I see the robot censor was able to replace your racist derogatory slang for a Spanish speaking person even after you thought you had cleverly concealed it in a perfectly ordinary word.
Your clever attempt was not just suspicious, but despicable as well.

 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

Once I finish my research into the structure of the proton and publish my findings you'll see the answer was staring you in the face all along. As you can see from this scientific diagram of a proton that I accidentally mislabelled as an atom and can't be arsed to change, I have discovered a brand new quark. Which I've called 'Kay':  Yes, it's a Kay Quark I'm an idiot.

I've tried to be a racist over the years but It just gets harder and harder. Here lately I Am lucky to just walk across the room. Hence I think I come pretty close to a walkest. Mostly a napper with a specialty in snackatude.

[Pedantic] C'mon Steve. Quark's don't come by themselves! (Actually they prefer three-ways, for Neutrons it's one Up to two Downs, one Charm to two Stranges and, obviously out of town at the time of your picture, one Top to two Bottoms. For Protons, it's the other way around!) Therefore, I have moved your work forward and discovered the missing Quark who I have named "Norm." Oh yeah, and quarks combine to make Hadrons (Neutrons, Protons, etc.). Only at this point will they party at the Atom Disco (where you also see a lot of Leptons being wallflowers and circling way outside those crazy Hadrons in the middle). [/Pendantic] Next week we can discuss anti-quarks and the Higgs-Boson particle.

Is it from the well-known DFS Submarine Furniture Sale strapline; 'Sonar, yet Sofar?'

Pfft, that's easy. Before starting Twelve Tone Systems, Greg Hendershot owned an embroiderying company specialising in letters of the alphabet between 'Q' and 'S'. Imagine the scene inside his shop one day just after elevenses: Greg: Hello sir, can I help you? Customer: Yes. I'd like a letter embroidered onto this neckerchief that belongs to a lady friend of mine of the opposite sex. Greg: Certainly my good man, what's her name? Customer: Felicity. Greg: Oh dear. I'm sorry sir, but we can't possibly embroider an 'F'. Customer: How come me old matey? Greg: I had to sack the bloke who does the 'F's for swearing on the loom. What, pray tell, is her surname - we could use that could we not? Customer: Ah yes, I hadn't thought of that. Her surname is 'Wigglesworth'. Greg: Oh bugger. Once again I'm sorry sir, but we can't embroider a 'W' either. I had to sack the 'W' embroiderer for moonlighting down at the local Cheapo-W Embroidery Boutique in lower Boston. Customer: Oh. How about you embroider an 'M' instead then. Just turn the neckerchief upside down and then the 'M' will look just like a 'W'. Greg: Good idea sir! Customer: So you'll do it then? Greg: No, sorry sir. The chap who does the 'M's is off work with leprosy of the bell-end and varicose penis. Customer: So..... what letters can you embroider? Greg: Well, I do the letter 'R'. It's my speciality. Customer: That's lucky. My lady friend's nickname is 'Roger'. I'll take it! Greg: Excellent sir. I hope you'll be very happy with your sewn 'R'.

And I thought the censored word was actually 'deplorable'. I couldn't figure out why the censored ****. Now I know. Well 'deplorable' works in context and should not get censored.
