Interesting! I was going to say only one matched the template - then I spotted three * not four. Technically, it could be anything as * usually matches to one or more characters. I can guess the missing word. (French Connection UK?)
 
Naff!ng, flam!ng, sodd!ng for starters. Test your creativity.

* is usually zero or more, not one or more, in regexp terms. I thought I'd put 4, but see now it's only 3. Oh well, that's the usual muck-up then.

My creativity is lacking. But there would be no need to redact your examples.
I was never very experienced with regexp. I was thinking of filenames in DOS and VAX/VMS - I've a feeling that would still match zero or more. :oops:
 
My creativity is severely lacking trying to think of a 3-letter rude word, let alone one which would not end up as seven letters once "ing" was added.
 
@ BH and EEPhil,
Is it raining at your respective locations? If not you should get out more! ;) (It is raining in my area, therefore I have an excuse to be reading your insightful musings.)
