Ask Apple's Siri To Define The Word 'Mother', Get Shocked By Her Rude 'Motherf**ker' Response
Apple's Siri voice assistant seems to have developed a very rude bug. Individual online reports, which we have ourselves verified, show how Siri's responding with a shocking expletive when you ask her to define the word 'Mother'. Wow!
Apple's Siri is one of the earliest voice assistants. It's a cool, hands-free way to interact with your iPhone or Macbook -- it's very convenient, too.
But looks like Siri has gone a bit crazy, as it's defining a very simple and innocent word with a very rude and ugly swear word.

Various iPhone and Apple device users are reporting that when you ask Siri to define the word ¡°mother¡±, she's actually coming back with an explanation that says 'short for motherf**ker', among other things.
Siri's brain fart was first posted by Reddit user 'thatwasabaddecision', when they posted on the /r/Apple subreddit, encouraging people to ask Siri to define the word ¡°mother¡±. When she asks you: ¡°do you wanna hear the next one?¡±, simply answer ¡°yes¡±.
We tried asking Siri to define the word 'mother' and here's what happened (as expected):
"As a noun,¡± Siri says, "it means, short for ¡®motherfucker.'" Yeah, that really happened. If you have an iPhone near you, turn on Siri and try it for yourself.
The reason behind Siri's swear-word response seems to be Oxford Dictionary. The online dictionary offers "motherf**ker" as an additional definition of the word "mother." When you tap on the "more" option, Siri does jump to the "short for 'motherf**ker'" which can be clearly seen as one of the definitions of the word 'mother'.
Still, why does Siri get to swear at you, when she herself doesn't like to be sweared at?
