Scrabble Bosses Look to Ban Words Including Farting, Boobies and Arse

Scrabble associations across the world, including the UK, are now compiling a list of 400 words to be barred in competitions. It is thought the list will include “goolies,” “arse,” “fatso,” “boffing” and “wrinklies.”

But the move has angered players, including 2014 world champion and twice-British champ Craig Beevers who said: “The woke brigade is ruining our game.”

Craig, of Stockton-on-Tees, Co Durham, added: “I feel this will be the final nail in the coffin for a lot of competitive players. The biggest problem with wokeness is that it’s not at all popular.”

Vice-president Ray Adler said: “In Scrabble — as in life — the words we choose matter, addng, “As a family-friendly brand, Mattel will be updating the official Scrabble list of playable words so our game aligns with our mission, anywhere you play.”
