Clean out swear words, racial slurs and other inappropriate words #150

Open samprd opened 2 years ago

I filtered out some(not all because I don't have extensive knowledge on every swear and slur in the world) of them in the file(cleanwords.txt). Please make a version without swears/slurs/other. words.txt

I've only just found this list, but I think that your query may be very difficult. I'm Australian, and many words bandied about here would seem extremely indelicate to Americans. I come from a pretty salty-voiced family anyway, and I have a high tolerance for "swear" words. But whether a word is a swear word or not is often a matter of local usage. Probably your best bet would be to search for words you don't like and filter them out - as it appears you have done. But whether you or anybody else likes them or not - they're still English words!

It would be cool to have a "business appropriate" list, or at the very least a list that doesn't have all the racial slurs in there...
