9e9ed8b532 Update eff_large.wordlist
1. Replaces words removed by pull 6914 <23b9e35de9> for possible offense. This restores the total word count.

Add replacement: grope -> . . . -> grouch

Change: hardcopy -> hardcopy -> hardback

Replace: hardcore -> . . . -> hardball

(I couldn't see "hardcopy" as a single word in American dictionaries from the turn of the century. It's too much of a neologism [and if we can't have "hardcore," then there's nothing else I can fit in that gap]. I had to remove another word to allow the addition of two new words here to preserve ordering. It's also an improvement because "hardcopy" is not a single word in dictionaries older than a decade or so.)

Add replacement: swinger -> . . . -> swindle

2. Yo-yo and yoyo are two spelling of the same exact word, and the latter spelling is "non-standard."

Keeping: yo-yo (t-shirt is the one other hyphenated word and I can't find a suitable candidate for either without creating several conflicts on the long wordlist)

Change: yoyo -> young

3.  Word repetition: two spellings of same word hankie.

Keeping: hankie (as the "correct" spelling because "hanky" is more common in "hanky-panky").

Change: hanky -> hanoi

(The other option was to insert "hansom" between "hanky" and "haphazard," but "handsome" is a homophone because the "d" became silent many years ago.)

4. Changed proper nouns and brand names to regular nouns:

dropbox -> dropforge

ebay -> eaves

google -> goosey as in "loosey-goosey" (the real word is "googol," anyhow)

This necessitated changing goon -> gooseneck

ipad -> iota

iphone -> ire

ipod -> iridium

This necessitated irate -> iris

kleenex -> knack (the word "tissue" exists)

lego -> legitimate

xbox -> xenon (which sounds like x box or x-box, too)

Keeping: xerox (now genericized like aspirin)

5. Replaced non-standard words around "drop" and the brand name in there

drop-down -> drop-in

ebook -> (genericized like "email")

ecard -> echelon

This necessitated eccentric -> echidna

harddisk -> hardedge (Hardedge is an art style. Hard disk is always two words or else is abbreviated as HDD for hard disk drive)

6. Replaced flirtatious activity

footsie -> footstool

Which necessitated making footsore -> footway

7. Potentially sensitive anatomy

gonad -> golly

siamese -> sial (Siamese = Thai, but "twins" is also on the list and "Siamese" could precede "twins," which is slur for conjoined twins.)

8. Politically sensitive

islamist -> island (An Islamist is someone who wants to enforce political Islam on all with a literal and conservative interpretation of the Qu'ran. It does not mean Muslim.)

marxism ->  marzipan (I'm a big old lefty, myself, but I need to be consistent)

********

These necessitated a couple changes to nearby words where a drop-in replacement word did not exist, which required shifting neighboring words slightly.

Alphabetical order preserved and total word count should match EFF's modified and the original Diceware list. No breaking changes.
