Filler word 

A word used to make up for gaps in conversation, when the speaker is not certain what they want to say next. Can be very annoying if used excessively.

Prime examples include: er, um, erm, and uh
Person 1: What's a black hole?
Person 2: Black holes are...um...they're uh...black holes, they...erm...er...
Person 1: You have no fucking clue, do you? You're just using filler words now.

Filler word 

They're, like, some words you uh... you throw them in when you don't know what to say. Used in the middle of sentences when... um... you're trying to think of a point. Common examples are "uh," "um," and "like." Overuse of them can, like, totally ruin the tone of sentences and make you look weird.
So, uh... this is the part where I, like, put a sentence that uses filler words... um... I can't really think of anything.

wordfilter 

A word filter is, as the name implies, a filter for words. Various websites too fucking pussy to use proper internets english will use these strange devices to change one word into another. Example: faggot->homosexual, rape->tenderly caress, etc. Other websites (ie those that do not suck) will use them for more humorous purposes. 7chan is a prolific user of these, changing all manner of words for no real reason. For example, faggot filters to spider expert, while god filters to Bob Ross. Also known as cheesegraters.

For example fail gets word-filtered to win, and girlfriend gets wordfiltered to boyfriend. 'wordfilterowned' is when a poster's entire message is corrupted due to wordfilters.
