Yeah, well.. I really don’t know where to look at and I can’t find it by myself, so what the hell means:
a) “[..]kitten[..]”
b) “iDefend”, “iWarden”..

You all are talking about these things and use them, but I just cannot understand what it should mean..so.. kitten stands for some swear words?
the i thing shall be cool and reflect the iPhone, iPad stuff?

Please help me out, that would be very helpful

Cheers!

Kitten is to remove the abrasiveness of swear words. It also makes for some comical sentences sometimes (which is the intended effect!). I like it.

iThing is likely a reference to Mesmer clones/spells with the word illusion in the name to shorten down the text to type it out.
