iOS / OSX "Pecan Pie" Shortcut Saga

Let me start by saying... I've tried everything I can possibly think of or find on the internet to resolve this and nothing has helped. Here's the situation:


2 iPhones - one personal, one business

iPad Air and iPad Mini

Macbook Pro w/ Yosemite


All devices signed into the same iCloud account.


Backup a few weeks, a friend takes my work iPhone and decides to be funny and put in an autocorrect shortcut for the word "no" to correct to "Pecan Pie".

I quickly notice this since "no" is a very common word and I go in and delete said shortcut.

Fast forward a day or two later, and my phone is correcting "no" to "Pecan Pie" again. I delete the shortcut on ALL devices figuring it had just synced from another one via iCloud.

Fast forward a day or two again and it's back, on all my devices now. It's driving me crazy and making me LOOK crazy as I send texts and emails riddled with "Pecan Pie" in the middle of conversations to co-workers, bosses, clients, and friends. Typing the word "no" on my macbook even "Pecan Pie"'s itself. This has been going on for weeks now, and I'm at wits end. I delete it every few days, and every few days I'm sending "Pecan Pie" to everyone and their mother again before noticing it's returned.


HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS ONCE AND FOR ALL?

Deleting it off all devices should have done the trick... if it deleting it again from all devices does not work, you could try replacing "no" with "no" 🙂. The iCloud sync should then sync to all devices.
