To save you time, when trying pussy.to:
> You filthy-minded little pervert!
> The Kingdom of Tonga admonishes you. Now go back and think of another name that you wouldn't be embarrassed to say to your mother.
However:
> Congratulations!
> Your name penis.to is available.

vagina.to is available, so it seems that medical/technical/'proper' terms are not blocked, merely slang.
Edit: I love the web page design, unironically. Makes it feel like there's a cgi-bin directory full of Perl scripts in the background.

Interestingly, certain non-medical names for the other organ give:

This word is unacceptable as a domain name.

I recognize this may be a really unpopular opinion but lately I've been feeling like the lack of values and personality in ubiquitous apps like Instagram, Facebook, may be short sighted.
don't get me wrong. i make web software- I get it. just build an interface to the data. but I also think a little personality and good will from these apps could help make the world a better place (Facebook does this in some respects, like celebrating birthdays and friendship anniversaries with fun videos).
that all said... this kind of subjective censorship is totally not what I had in mind... perhaps it's a fine line.
aside (but perhaps more relevant): I'm curious as to who arbitrates this blacklist, and who is responsible for the funny messaging it responds with. (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonga)

I've heard the "personality" that a lot of major sites use referred to as "the new sincerity," because apparently, somehow, "sincere" meant endlessly chipper and painfully patronizing.
haha. i hear you. i'm kind of more into the idea of Facebook saying something like "caution: seems like you're kind of being a dick!" before you post a comment.
Facebook's "on this day" feature starts its blurb with "We care about you", and that just makes me uncomfortable.
It's the same way every farmer cares for their cattle.
Not quite so. Farmers don't have to reassure their cows that they care about them. Plus they do care, even if for completely selfish reasons.
Sure, you have to keep the herd together. Farmers do that other ways, but the outcome is the same. Facebook does care, and for the same selfish reasons: they're an eyeball farmer.
Because a grown cow sells for around $1000.
Whereas you are only worth around $250 or less to Facebook! [1].

But... I'm not on Facebook!!!
Oh and their memories and friendiversary posts? I hate how easy those videos are for them to make, the entire feature is creepy. Facebook friendiversaries are stupid and should not add anything to anything's life, yet so many of my buds LOOOOOVE to share and celebrate.

I remember the old days of Flickr. The copywriting on that site was spectacular and full of personality. Slack has some of it, but Slack is not as fun as Flickr was.
yep. and i think that is just a small step.
when you enter some community event (bingo, concerts, golf) the social atmosphere does a good job self regulating. there are expected standards for behavior. the internet is a different beast of course, but i wonder if we still can't do a better job encouraging people do be/do good.

You and I apparently don't attend the same sort of concerts.
The joke is on them. I'm not a little pervert. I'm a huge pervert.
I doubt I will ever get to write an error message as great as "The Kingdom of Tonga admonishes you."
It's not a fan of scunthorpe.to yet somehow analfisting.to is just fine :-D
For what it's worth, our team - the Domain Research Group - specializes in this kind of weirdness.
Couldn't resist sharing this... (discovered when they decided to add support for Emoji Domains)

I found another error in addition to the pervert error... 'This name contains an offensive substring'.
Apparently that's for moderate level swear words.
Apparently that's for moderate level swear words.
Looks to probably just be a banned word list as alternate/phonetic spellings get through their filter. phuck.to, kok.to, etc.
Dang, dori.to is taken.
Dang! burri.to is as well!
Not stilet.to though.

I'm disappointed by the fact that this error comes with a response code 200. I was expecting either 69 or 666 or something of the kind! If your gonna be wonky, why not go all out? ;)
I believe 406 Not Acceptable would be the proper response.
While typically I would discourage using that response code unless the error is with the Accepts header. I would make an exception in this case
Edit: Whoever downvoted me needs to get a life. I'm playing along with the joke not trying to correct amarant.

Who made you the boss of http codes
Chill dude. I was playing along with the joke. Also, a boss would say "You must use this code!" not politely discourage it... also W3C

I guess you're not a pervert if you're willing to engage in acts of violence and ignore consent :/

This is the first meaning of "rape" that I ever learned:

So, "The Kingdom of Tonga admonishes you" is not a joke. That message originally came from someone entitled to issue it. Topou V died in 2012.
