:Actually, it is not two separate words. Ref: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes userboxes on wikipedia]. Notice the consistent spelling of a MediaWiki userbox as ''userbox'' and the mention of the common abbrev. '''UBX'''. That being said, shall we use {{tn|Userbox:IGotMilk}} then? | :Actually, it is not two separate words. Ref: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Userboxes userboxes on wikipedia].

:On another note, as Waahlis mentioned, no, it is not meant to be offensive, nor should it ever be, as userboxes are not to be placed on another user's page (talk excepted) per common netiquette. Thus only users who opt to describe their own language as such are the intended users. Just thought I'd jump in and share my 0.1356 crowns.

I agree, 'tis one word. However, the word ''userbox'' in itself isn't very long, and thus acceptable instead of the less transparent ''UBX''. Also, it might be worth mentioning, that using a mixed case in any kind of title, is heavily discouraged. This is part of my staggering overhaul of the templates: [[User:Waahlis/On templates]]. Please leave a comment on that talk page for further discussion.
