Made me think of this.

if straight women got bleeped when they said "dyke" I'd have a way easier time dating 🫠

just run up to a hot gal with a fake microphone like "TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT'S THE WORD FOR 'an embankment for holding back water'!?"

"[bleep]?"
"correct thank you ma'am have a nice day"

"dyke?"
"correct! question 2 are you single and/or dating?"

"TRIVIA POP QUIZ WHAT'S THE WORD FOR 'an embankment for holding back water'!?"

"A levee??"
"... touchè"

I'm confused - does the microphone have gaydar screening and auto-bleep capabilities? I would describe that as much more than a fake microphone.

moreso this is a hypothetical alternate universe where every time a straight woman says the word "dyke" it gets bleeped, a la that South Park clip
