One mother is furious that a Nintendo version of the Scrabble game used by her boy is throwing down dirty words from its dictionary like:

• t*ts (which Scrabble says is defined as both “a garden bird” and “an informal word for female breasts”)
• f*ckers (“slang word for chavs”)

Is it operator error on the part of mum and kid or is it failure on the part of Ubisoft and Nintendo?

Oh, if you’re wondering what a ‘chav’, I too was curious. According to Wikipedia a chav is:

Chav, Chava or Charva is a slang derogatory term applied to certain young people in the United Kingdom. The stereotypical image of a chav is an aggressive white teen or young adult, of working class background, who wears branded sports and casual clothing (baseball caps are also common) who often fights and engages in petty criminality and are often assumed to be unemployed or in a low paid job.

Here’s one below. So they’re saying ‘chav’ is equivalent to juvenile delinquent’ which has a slang word of ‘f*cker’ to represent it? I don’t get it.
