F bomb: A Reddit user has taken to the r/Apple subreddit to reveal a way to get Apple's Siri to say the F word
Mother's the word: Using the Oxford English dictionary, which offers several interpretations of the word 'mother', Siri also includes the 'vulger slang' word 'motherf*cker'
RedditorHahahahahaimsofunny was the first to respond with the answer, and wrote: 'Motherf**ker!'
Apple appears to have programmed Siri using the Oxford English dictionary, which offers several interpretations of the word 'mother'.
While the first explanation deals with the definition of mother in regular terms, the second interpretation defines 'mother' as part of 'North American vulgar slang short for motherf**ker'.
And the post quickly went viral with Reddit users as hundreds flocked to the comments section to share their own experiences of trying to get Siri to use profanities.
User ellipses1 wrote: 'I have english accent siri on and it sounds like she said "north africa".'
And SimonReach offered the phonetic interpretation and typed: 'Mu-ther-fi-ker'.
Similarly,radagasthebrown shared: 'I hear meh-therf-ihka, kinda like Methuselah but with different letters'.

Reaction: Hundreds of people have taken to the thread to offer their reaction to the post
Complaints: While some people understood Siri's pronunciation of 'motherf*cker', several others used the thread to complain about the way she pronounces lots of words
Take the high road: American users have pointed out that Siri's British accent has a hard time pronouncing road names
'The weirdest part is the fact that Siri is such a prude when you swear at her,' wrote Dizzy Slip.
And user GeekEmV shared: 'It sounds weird with a British accent.'
A sentiment shared by DomPhotography who added: 'Blends all the letter together and she said it super fast'.
This led the subreddit thread onto a broader discussion of Siri's British pronunciation flaws when dealing with American users andusername rufiohsucks added the same was true of Siri pronouncing American road names.
'It's almost as bad as how Apple maps names A-roads e.g. "A Four-tuh" no one says 40 like that Apple,' they wrote.
And even Australian Siri users agreed that the male voice set to an Australian accent had trouble pronouncing the word 'motherf*cker'.
Pleaseassumemygender shared: 'Same in Australian', to which theswankeynote replied, 'M’tha’fa’ka'.
