Google Search: consideyellow
Google Search: consideblue
Google Search: considegreen
Haha. Be careful with global search-and-replace. [via ntk.net]

Even more: scayellow, offeyellow, offeblue, offegreen, offeorange! rendeblue, rendeyellow, requiwhite, requiblue, requipurple, requigreen, manufactublue, blackecorate, cblueibility.

And this single page coins the following new words:
- transferyellow
- yelloweems
- cyellowits / cyellowited
- one hundyellow
- requiyellow
- yellowundant
- yellowuce
- enteyellow

I'm gonna start using these words. Be prepagreen!

but why are people replacing the word 'red' with other colours? How does this help anyone?


roo wrote on 2002/09/04:
Oh. I think i worked it out. Replacing 'red' in the page source for another colo(u)r. Not realising they'll affect their content too! So other words-with-colours-in-them should be spottable too. Trouble is I can't think of any.

of course, words also begin with "red". not any more...

Heh. The irony of the link that cyb pointed out is that it's a tutorial on Cascading Style Sheets-- a technology which, if used correctly, would avoid this search-and-replace mess. Heh.

How's this: an entire e-text in which all the reds are swapped out for blacks. Oops...

dear codeman, would mind explaining what's wrong with the text you were referring to? thanks.

Hi Paulacska, I think codeman is long gone but here's a small selection of what's wrong with that text on your site: suffeblack, preferblack, prepablack, gatheblack, appeablack, disappeablack, tiblack, and my personal favourite: pblackicted :)
