Goal of this List/Normal german words #8

Closed Faerbit closed 10 years ago

Faerbit commented 10 years ago

Hi,

I found some german words which seem rather normal to me. As I don't know in which direction this list is going I thought I provide some context for them:

geil: colloquially used to describe something good/awesome. Also used to describe the state of sexual arousal Hupen: literally is just multiple horns. Is also used as a metaphor for female breasts. Knackwurst: Is just a type of sausage. If it would be used as an insult, that insult would be very weak. Maybe you mean Kackwurst? Latte: colloquial word for a type of wood. Also describes an erected penis. Milchtüten: Is just the packaging of milk. I could imagine this could refer to female breasts, but I never heard someone call them this way. Picheln: Is colloquial for drinking alcohol.

May be you should consider sorting the list in strong bad words and weak bad words. There are many figures of speech which describe the act of masturbation or are used to describe genitilia and female breasts. If you would all ban them you would cripple the german language. If you could clarify the goals of this list, one would be able to better complete this list.

Thanks for the feedback! The goal of these lists is to include words that are obscene or insulting on their own. For example, words that you would not want to display in autocomplete or as machine translated keywords or tags. It looks like you've identified some German words that we should probably remove. I'll have one of our German speaking team members review this issue.

We've removed all the above mentioned words plus added Kackwurst. Thanks for your help!
