Seemed neccesary #79

I always assumed those were not included intentionally. I thought Lion was avoiding slurs in general.

The full range of new words that would be introduced by this commit are shown here: http://xe.tetrap.us/swears.txt

As you can see, the "BITCH" addition has an incredibly low hit-rate compared to the other words in the file, and while "NIGGER" has a moderate hit-rate it's unnecessarily offensive, and the addition of both forms makes it disproportionately racist. Consider selecting specific words from the list and adding them individually to insults.txt instead.

I guess that would make sense, maybe I'll add my own script for slurs
