blankety

Stands for profanity

Blankety is a playful substitute for a taboo word, especially in the phrase blankety-blank.

It mimics the convention of replacing offensive language with "blank" while signaling that something unprintable belongs there: That blankety-blank car won't start.

The reduplicated form adds comic emphasis to the censorship.
