Weeb a Word v1.25 stable (20220604)
Weeb a Word, created by redneonglow, is a Fediverse phrase bot which generates random otaku culture inspired phrases using an external dictionary file. It is inspired by the popular Loli a Word and Free Word Extremist bots, and has a mode to emulate Loli a Word.
Example phrases using the default dictionary from bsd-games-2.17 in Slackware Linux:
- negatively oppai
- shota pharmacopoeia
- loli reconstructing
- futa objection
- subbed trip
- harasses shota
- hentai cataloged
- joys pantsu
- dubbed believable
- protecc clarified
Example phrases using the Slackware settings above, but with Loli a Word emulation mode enabled:
- awaken loli
- vagary loli
- intermingled loli
- apportion loli
- throttle loli
- cookies loli
- quit loli
- deception loli
- enders loli
- hazes loli
Example phrases using the default dictionary from miscfiles-1.5-r3 in Gentoo Linux:
- weeaboo coinhabitant
- sidewalk cosplay
- otaku unfermenting
- anime trickishly
- loli pseudococcus
- protecc laborsaving
- weeb disinterment
- manga folkloristic
- apocinchonine bishoujo
- shoujo septotomy
By default, /usr/share/dict/words is used for the dictionary file, but this can be changed with the -d option. Weeb a Word randomly chooses a word from the dictionary file and converts the word to lower case prior to output/posting.
/usr/share/dict/words is usually provided by the "miscfiles" package in most Linux distributions. A sample public domain wordlist (WORD.LST) has also been included with this software. For best results, it is recommended to use the word list included with Slackware Linux's bsd-games package. You can download it here (remember to gunzip):
