Y’all might have seen this already. If so, my apologies - I did to a search on “benny-tow” for all applicable forums (MPSIMS, Cafe, IMHO):

The original can be found here: [http://forum.thoselog.com/index.php?showtopic=151&pid=955&mode=threaded&show=&st=&](http://forum.thoselog.com/index.php?showtopic=151&pid=955&mode=threaded&show=&st=&)

Far as I know, there are no rules against profanities.

The rules are against being a dickhead, not swearing, although I’d imagine it’s considered polite to be less profane out of the pit than you’d otherwise be.

I think it means Axis of Evil. My husband, sons, and I asked the same question in the CBCD household, as we howled over this around the kitchen table.

It means Axis of Evil, but more importantly what’s funny is that that is how “clans” identify themselves. As a general rule, if you go to online games and see a name followed by [Namehere] it means that person is part of a clan.

Which makes the writer of this even more brilliant. All the right touches here.
