I found misc/jive in NetBSD pkgsrc, and might build and install it in NetBSD, since it is small and my curiosity is aroused.

But misc/jive does not like something particularly valuable or important.

Regardive offensiveness, what I really find offensive is the notion of political correctness; people should not be so tongue-tied.
