Recently, the members of Reddit’s Apple community discovered that the voice assistant gave an NSFW answer when you ask it to define “mother.” Without a hint of regret, Siri said, “It means, short for motherf******r.”
Nevertheless now, it looks like Apple has fixed the bug, as Siri is no longer reading out the second definition. When asked Siri, for the second definition, said, “As a verb, it means to bring up a child, with care and affection.”

With the latest updates in Siri, you’d expect Siri to tell you jokes and answer your queries, it can also shock you with some unexpected and offensive answers to harmless questions.
Discovered by users on the r/Apple subreddit, if you ask Siri to define the word ‘mother’ she tells you the regular definition, and then asks, “Do you want to hear the next one?” she asked us right after, and yes we did. “As a noun, it means short for motherf*****,” she said, without bleeping out the curse word. The text results also show the response (above picture).
Siri uses the Oxford Dictionaries API to source definitions and the dictionary also lists this alternate definition, so while Siri is accurate, she may want to learn some tact from Google Assistant, which does not read out the NSFW definition aloud.

Siri is probably the company’s weakest link right now, especially when you view it in comparison to the Google Assistant. The virtual assistant’s accuracy and capabilities are severely limited compared to its rivals. Well, let’s see if Apple manages to bring some new capabilities to Siri this year.
