Share your list of "Trash Can" words here

You know, the list of words that automatically get threads hidden from your delicate view. Here's mine as of today (it changes):

Bush
gop
gun
guns
magazine
murder
rape

DU can become a much less stressful experience if you just know which stuff to hide. What's yours?

There is no one word that triggers such a response in me. On any give day, I may get my fill of a subject early and easily, but I just move on. I've never trashed anything.

I held out as long as I could. Some of the threads were the same things over and over.

I may revise it.

And if you did find one, I'd probably want to ignore it too
