I stuck a note below the actual applet, something to the effect of:
"This
applet may occasionally generate GW's real name; we apologize in advance
for your failure to offend GW."

The actual operating guts of the applet is actually Tom Anderson's work
-
the same applet that powers his Kra'vak Name Generator. I just changed
the
word lists that it accesses.

When I get better at Java, I'll disect the .class file and see if I can
prevent it from generating GW's proper name - and see if I can get it to
stick 'work' (or varients) and 'shop' (ditto) together as one word. (At
present it gives, say, "Goudge Ork slop" instead of "Goudge Orkslop",
which would be better...)

If you've got a favorite impolite GW varient I've not included in the
Basher, send it to me soonest! (You can check which words are already
included by viewing the source code of gwbasher.html, or by activating
the
Basher lots and lots...)

Fun applet, isn't it? :)
