It's absolutely possible to deal with this by simply following the principle of "least surprise".
In this specific case, the problem could easily have been avoided by:
a) Moving "Bukkake" to "Bukkake (Sexual Act)" b) Making the "Bukkake" page a disambiguation page with a pointer to "Udon" and one to the sexual activity.

I use the program LaTeX for creating math documents. Terrible terrible things have happened as a result of oblivious googling.

In fact, a friend of mine yelled at me about this just the other day because she went searching for "Bukkake Udon", which is a noodle dish and had no idea what she was in for. _______________________________________________ Gendergap mailing list Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:Gendergap@lists.wikimedia.org> https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/gendergap
