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.

       b1ff   The B1FF filter

       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.

       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.

SEE ALSO

       /usr/share/doc/filters/SAMPLES
              Lists samples of the output of all the filters.

       Other filters:

       pig    From the bsdgames package, pig converts text to pig latin.

       dog --oog
              From the dog  package,  dog  can  also  function  as  a  filter,
              converting text to OOG-speak.
