Well, I made a comment to Fern that the Moogle named "Puki" was offensive because "puki" in Tagalog means p_ssy. He had no idea about that.Exactly, also it's something the localization team are aware of, that a seemingly innocent word can have a wildly different meaning or context in a different country - it's something they try to take into account but simply cannot overcome every time (a while ago a similar situation occurred where an innocent and legitimate name for a BTN tool was revealed to be a slang term for a certain part of the male anatomy in another country (Philippines I believe it was?), and yes, there were player demands that be changed as well). So it's just something you have to just live with and accept it as just part of the English language's quirks.
This is a good example. There's a lot of ambiguous dialogue/elements in the game that make for interesting exchange with other players.
MT: unahin mo yung puki (Pick up Puki first.)
OTleaf: Ha? (Huh?)
MT: yung puki don kunin mo (Get that Puki over there.)
OTleaf: k. patay kang puki ka. (K. I'm coming for you, Puki.)
Commode in most furniture companies' catalogs is just a chest of drawers. BUT if you wanna make a play for words, you could. Could be fun.

As far as I can tell commode only means toilet in the US. No furniture store seems to sell something called a commode that isn't a portable toilet chair. If it meant dresser sometimes and toilet other times like it seems to in England this probably wouldn't be a topic.
