DESCRIPTION
All of these programs are filters to do all sorts of strange things to text. No personal, racial,
religious or societal slurs are intended. For amusement only.
All the filters read input from stdin, change it, and write the filtered text to stdout. Some filters
also support reading from files and writing to stdout.
b1ff The B1FF filter
lolcat As seen in internet gifs everywhere.
cockney
Cockney English
chef convert English on stdin to Mock Swedish on stdout
eleet K3wl hacker slang
fanboy Speak like a fanboy. Filters out extraneous words and focuses on the words fans use. By default,
it will speak like a fan of git/Linus/linux development. To change this, pass as parameters the
words that the fanboy typically uses. Alternatively, pass the name of a topic that typically has
fanboys to use a predefined word list.
fudd Elmer Fudd
jethro Hillbilly text filter
jive Jive English
jibberish
Runs text through a random selection of the rest of the filters, to make really weird output.
ken English into Cockney, featuring (dubious) rhyming slang for a lot of computer terminology.
kraut Generates text with a bad German accent.
kenny Generates text as spoken by Kenny on South Park.
ky00te This program places a very cute (and familiar to FurryMuck fans) accent on any text file.
nethackify
Wiped out text like can be found in nethack.
newspeak
A-la-1984
censor CDA-ize text
nyc Brooklyn English
pirate Talk like a pirate.
rasterman
Makes text look like it came from the keyboard of Carsten Haitzler.
scottish
Fake scottish (dwarven) accent filter, inspired by the character "Durkon" from Order of the Stick.
spammer
Turns honest text into something that is liable to be flagged as spam.
scramble
Scramble the "inner" letters of each word in the input into a random order. The resulting text is
still strangely readable.
studly Studly caps.
uniencode
Use glorious unicode to the fullest possibile extent. As seen previously in many man pages.
upside-down
Flips text upside down. Stand on your head and squint to read the output.
