Why is "Gavone" censored on The Oblongs?

Milo and his friends go to a store with an arcade game and a patron calls the owner a "stupid gavone" telling him to go back to france.

 

But it has been censored the last few times the show has been played.

 

Why?

Gavone wasn't actually the censored word,

 

and the censored word was censored because

some people might get offended & [as] doesn't want to get in trouble for it

It's an italian word meaning a stupid person or a gluttoness person.

Is that what is said on the DVD?  Someone confirm that!

I could have sworn that the first time I saw it uncensored, the word was "limey" . Naturally this was years ago but I'm fairly sure it was something 'low level' like that because when it got censored out in later airings, I remember thinking that it was an unnecessary edit since it just drew more attention to things.
