They are all terms blocked on the Chinese social media site “Weibo,” sort of a Chinese Twitter.

Blocked on Weibo

There is a list of 378 words and terms that are blocked for searching. A lot of them are obvious (political references, terrorism references, sexual references), at least in terms of what you’d expect a totalitarian regime to ban; others are non-obvious, and I’m guessing there must be some sort of idiomatic explanations that don’t translate directly.

And then there’s stuff like “food allergies” and “allergic rhinitis.” Bwaa??
