request: Censor the word "shit" #47

Closed HatScripts closed 8 months ago

HatScripts commented 8 months ago

Description

I was surprised to realize that this library doesn't censor the word "shit" by default, given that it's one of the most common English swear words.

Solution

I'm not fully versed with the pattern syntax used by this project, but here's my attempt at implementing it:

.addPhrase((phrase) => 
  phrase
    .setMetadata({ originalWord: 'shit' })
    .addPattern(pattern`shit`)
    .addWhitelistedTerm('s hit')
    .addWhitelistedTerm('sh it')
    .addWhitelistedTerm('shi t')
    .addWhitelistedTerm('shitake')
)

This should cover words where "shit-" is the prefix ("shitty", "shite", "shithead", etc.), as well as words where "-shit" is the suffix ("bullshit", "dipshit", "batshit", etc.)

Thanks, I included your patch verbatim (additionally whitelisting the word mishit) in version 0.2.0 of Obscenity.

Thanks for the update! There are also some alternative spellings of shit listed on its Wiktionary page:
