In recent days, iPhone users have discovered a possible glitch in Siri’s programming that allows the virtual assistant to use “salty” language.

Users have been reporting this past weekend that when the virtual assistant is asked for additional definitions of the word “mother,” the listener should make sure to do so in private because one such definition, per Siri, is that the word is also short for “mother plus an expletive!”

For now, Apple has been mum on the glitch as more and more people report on Siri’s salty language, with some suggesting that the words are not spoken all that clearly.

"I can’t understand what she’s saying? It sounds like sped up or mumbled when she does?" according to one user.

Still, other research into the glitch suggests that this definition of “mother” is one that appears in the Oxford dictionary under options for verbal slang. As such, the alleged “glitch” may simply be reflecting that option and is not a glitch at all.
