I got a similar tally, I don't think I've ever said the n word and it somehow appeared in my results.

I wasn't aware that they existed. Wow. People are weirds sometimes.

So what it does is searches the RSS feed LJ automatically generates for you -- look here -- and does a simple text match, I assume. A *really* simple text match... so it catches things like "sniggering" and "saltwater" and "amusement"... and ignores the fact that the words it's searching for occur as part of other, totally innocuous words. :P So yeah, it's finding these and telling you to wash your virtual mouth out with soap and you can see how maybe they're technically present, but not in any way that a smarter search or an actual reader would count.
