• A funny “Easter egg” surfaced over the weekend in which yous can get Siri to curse.

• All y’all accept to do is enquire your iPhone to define the word “female parent.”

Siri’s banter tops out at PG-xiii, simply sometimes curse words can slip through.

Here’s the latest example, via Reddit: Enquire Siri to define the discussion “mother.”

After responding with the first definition, Siri will and then ask, “Do y’all want to hear the next one?”

Say “yes.”

And then Siri will inform you that mother tin can exist shorthand for “motherf—–,” a definition that counts as “vulgar slang.” We were able to replicate the Easter egg of sorts on Mon. A rep for Apple tree didn’t respond to a request for comment.

Hither’s video of the swearin’ Siri — in Australian English:

Apple seems to be pulling the definition Siri is using from the Oxford dictionary, highlighting one problem with smart online administration: They’re but as smart as the data they’re using. Only the “vulgar slang” definition is actually the fourth listed, according to our screenshot, not the second definition.

Perhaps Apple should hook Siri upwardly to the autocorrect predictions it uses for its keyboard; then, instead of cursing, it might effort to define the word “motherducker.”
