Un-ban some innocent words

The list of banned words contains some entries that do not belong there.

I propose to remove the following entries because they have innocent/normal meanings as well:

Worst offenders:

  • pawn (Chess piece)
  • hoe (tool)
  • knob (door knob)
  • poof (comic explosion)
  • guido (that's just a normal name)
  • balls (plural of ball)
  • ball kicking (but literal)
  • snatch (catch)
  • ho (Ho, ho, ho! = Santa Claus)

Other entries:

  • bloody (but literal)
  • cox (person who steers a ship)
  • domination (game mode)
  • dyke (construction)
  • dike (construction)
  • escort (military)
  • fanny (fanny pack)
  • flamer (someone who flames in the Internet)
  • hardcode (game mode where you only have 1 life)
  • hard core (game mode where you only have 1 life)
  • hoar (some kind of snow or ice)
  • how to kill (we literally have a game called "Murder")
  • how to murder (we literally have a game called "Murder")
  • girl on (part of sentence)
  • nazi (calling someone a "nazi" is not an insult when it's true)
  • neonazi (calling someone a "neonazi" is not an insult when it's true)
  • xx (two letters)
  • prick (verb)
  • pricks (verb)
  • screwing (screws)
  • taste my (part of sentence)
  • tied up (part of sentence)
  • tit (bird)

(personally, I think the whole idea of word-based filtering is completely broken by design in the first place because of false-positives and therefore should be removed entirely but I assume I'm not going to convince anyone with that position so this is a compromise)
