Create words that match guides (just for fun)

I have several tests that use hints. The elements used do not have to be unique, they just need to be guides. Random hints are boring - so I'm trying to find funny hints. Right now, I have nothing better than "00000000-feed-dada-ice-c0ffee000000". Ideally, I would generate a list of verbs, nouns, prepositions.

Just spending a few minutes on this problem, here where I:

  • I have a list of words (somewhat large) from puzzlers.org.
  • Apply this regular expression to identify words that can be used in Guid (o = 0, i = 1) ^ [ABCDEFOI] {1,8} $
  • Squint.

Why don't I have a suitable generator for my immediate satisfaction? How would you approach this? Any suggestions on how to improve this special leadership generation process are welcome.

The solution you started is exactly how I approach it. And it looks like someone has already done the work for you:

This is not a technical answer, but:

The Daily WTF again posted a message describing the guy who wrote the exact type of thing you are trying to create, the reason that it was Daily WTF stuff was because the generator was spitting out things that sounded like a curse of a word.
