It seems Facebook's auto suggestions went awry when there were vulgar and adult suggestions being offered.
it's been fixed, but it meant that facebook has issued an apology.
“As soon as we became aware of these offensive predictions we removed them. Facebook search predictions are representative of what people may be searching for on Facebook and are not necessarily reflective of actual content on the platform.

“We do not allow sexually explicit imagery, and we are committed to keeping such content off of our site.” Whoops: Facebook Auto Suggestions Turn Adult [theguardian.com]
