Many questions are answered in the FAQ.
The flow of conversation can be interrupted by xkeyphrases; for example, the guest utters an imperative, and is sent to xcommand, and receives a response that is unrelated to what they said except for the fact that it was an imperative. This can be very frustrating for the programmer, especially since many imperatives are not really commands at all.
One way to deal with this is to inform the guest of how the AIengine works. For example, in my bot, "Quantum Theory", which is a teaching bot, if the bot thinks you are human, then you will always receive the same reply from xcommand:
Sorry, you just typed something that the AIengine interpreted as a command, and so you have been sent to "xcommand". This is something over which I have no control. Would you like to return to the discussion of Quantum Mechanics?
then there is a seek on "yes" which takes the guest back to where he was before.
The idea is that the guest will eventually learn not to use imperatives. Similar remarks are found in xinsult, xcompliment, and so on.
There are many ways to deal with these things; which is best for your bot depends on what you are trying to accomplish with it.

Yes, thanks for all the tips Irina. I still have to add the obscenity plugin, but I really appreciate your sharing it.
No problem. I should say, though, that is will only catch those words which I find offensive, not sexual or physiological terminology in general. They are the sort of words you might hear if someone is angry, or trying to be offensive, or see sprayed onto a wall somewhere.
I also have one called (sex_importune), which contains phrases that a man might use to propose intercourse to a woman, but without using the words in (obscenity).
I also have (sexstim), which contains wods like fondle, caress, etc.. There are also (sexstim1), (sexstim2), (sexstim3), and (sexstim4), which divide (sexstim) into layers of increasing intimacy. Likewise, there are various (erogpart-fem) [or are they just erogpart-f)?] which include words relating to female erogenous zones. They are all catalogued under "phrases", I think. If I go look now, I'll lose everything I've written, so I'll post this and then try to make a decent catalogue.

WAARNING: ADULT CONTENT!
Here are some plug-ins I have made having to do with sex:
under ACTIONS:
(sexstim) contains words like "kiss" and "fondle", verbs in present tense. None of them are terribly obscene, although one or two might (like "fondle") be embarassing in certain contexts.
(foreplay-verb) is similar to (sexstim). It contains only verbs in present tense, no direct objects! I should probably combine the two.
under BODY:
(bodypart-fem), (erogpart1-fem), (erogpart2-f), (erogpart3a-fem), (erogpart4-ext-fem), and (erogpart4-fem) are what they appear to be, with the higher numbers indicating greater intimacy.
(malepart-your) is a catalogue of male body parts including some which would be on the female body as well.
(my-erogpart-fem), etc., are just a list of nouns with the word "my" prefixed; why I felt the need for this in addition to the above I do not recall; in the heat of passion we do strange things. Similarly for (your-erogpart-fem).
under ZOTHER:
(vulgar-imprecation) contains a small number of insulting, obscene phrases.

In general, there are a lot of interesting plug-ins avaliable. Unfortunately, the gold is well-mixed with the dross, so you have to pick your way through them one by one. For this reason, it is often more practical to go through the list of plugins, asking yourself, "How could I use this plug-in in my bot?" rather than thinking, "My bot needs a plug in like this; is there one available?" It is also easy to make your own plugin, and you can revise it later.
There are some plug-ins whose manufacture might require a collective effort. For example, we have (verb) but we don't have a distinction between transitive and intransitive verbs. I made a rather large plug-in for transitive verbs - it's called something like "(verb-trans)" - but I'm sure it's quite tiny compared to the number of intransitive verbs in English.
Also, (verb) doesn't distinguish tenses, and it will pick up on participial forms.

Well i am new at this and all my bot says is "I am new born and can't speak well." or "Huh?" it will answer my questions once and a while but will never ask me any why is this? 
the bot doesnt usually understand what i say and i am fustrated will it ever end? I talked to my bot for a hour and a half straight and its still confused...and its still newborn

Welcome, BigBot101. You have to ad content to your bot. Click on the link for the Book of AI (white letters top right) and follow the directions. 
Hi BigBot101!
If you want to take care of the 'I am new born and can't speak well problem' in specific click on x-commands in the Language Settings (I think xnonsense is where 'I can't speak well ...' is coming from) and give your bot something different to say. However no-one's bot is developed after an hour and a half. As Bev suggested you gotta add content.
