not sure about everyone else, but the first one i looked for starts with an "n", but it didn't make the list, how come?

People used to call me a ninny all the time, I don't think it should be banned though.

I agree though, imo the word you're thinking of is probably banned and the linked list is not a complete/exhaustive one.

The n-word is banned. Apparently one can test for this one self by searching her: https://hashpix.herokuapp.com/

If the word is banned you will get an error message saying "Instagram: (400) APINotAllowedError-This tag cannot be viewed" at the top.

I can confirm this. The search term alluded to, as well as all hashtags stemming from it, have been auto-tagged as nsfw in HashPix as well.

OT: We have just managed to carry out a conversation about a word that was not even mentioned once within the conversation itself. And yet, each one of us knows exactly which word we are alluding to. Voldemort, anyone? :)

If you're saying that "cotton headed ninny muggins" isn't on the banned list, then I am officially offended.
