The automatic asterisking always catches that word, presumably on the assumption that it's offensive. I can only speculate that it's because of the term that might be used disparagingly in Australia and New Zealand to describe the British.
Another word the automatic asterisking catches is sw*shy, which amused me the first time I saw it. Apparently it is sometimes used homophobically, though I've never heard it used that way.
And there are some words that I think are much more offensive than p*m-p*ms but the automatic asterisking doesn't seem to recognise them as offensive... I'm pretty sure bastard is allowed. (If not, I'm sorry.)
