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 std‐
out

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 develop‐
ment. To change this, pass as parameters the
words that the fanboy typically uses. Alterna‐

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 possible
extent. As seen previously in many man pages.

upside-down
Flips text upside down. Stand on your head and
squint to read the output.
