Ahh means (behind you) in AAVE (African-American Vernacular English).

what? The word “ahh” is allowed, and “goofy” too! But not both of them!

The words “You're a” and the words “fat baboon akin to a reinflated party balloon.” are allowed, but not all of them together. Why is that? Because sentences can be inappropriate, even if they don't contain bad words. Their meaning isn't allowed.

The word “ahh” is a substitute for the word "[rear end]", so it's not allowed.
That's the reason. People sometimes use it online as a bypass for that word.

Because the second part of the word is used as a bypass for a word that isn't allowed on Scratch

“Ahh” is not a bypass, and I'm pretty sure you're allowed to say it individually.

More often than not, “goofy ahh” is used in a disrespectful manner

Example: “look at this goofy ahh project”

So that could also be a factor
