List of Dirty, Naughty, Obscene, and Otherwise Bad Words
- asdfsafdkjfdk 11y agohttps://github.com/shutterstock/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscene-and-Otherwise-Bad-Words/blob/master/en#L193 https://github.com/shutterstock/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscen... edit: Wow, OK. I made the mistake of going to Urban Dictionary after posting that.
- belltyler 11y agoJust an obvious heads up, this is NSFW.
- astrodust 11y agoPretty sure the description is a warning enough, plus it's just words, not ASCII porn.
- Tenhundfeld 11y agoYeah, serious question: Is this really not safe for work? Are there workplaces where you'd be reprimanded for looking at a list of vulgar words, especially in this context? (More than you would for any other "unproductive" activity, like say, reading HN.) And if it's just about getting flagged by some monitoring software, I'd think this thread would be just about as likely to get you in trouble. I get that NSFW is inherently subjective and context-dependent, but for me personally this is not NSFW, i.e., totally SFW.
- Pitarou 11y agoMade me snigger. Incidentally, you can't use that word on many forums: snigger. I live near a town called Scunthorpe. Scunthorpe residents tend to use the nickname Scunny when they're on-line, because the full name gets blocked so often.
- jasoncartwright 11y agoAh, the Scunthorpe problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scunthorpe_problem
- greglindahl 11y agoI made a reasonable whack at solving the Scunthorpe problem by building a whitelist of terms containing those 4 letters, and a similar list for the Hiroshita problem. Alas, now IBM owns all that code. As I build a search engine with autocomplete for the Wayback Machine, I'm really missing having it.
- JetSpiegel 11y agoA clbuttic issue.
- jejones3141 11y agoYes. I used to frequent a message board that implemented a really dumb profanity filter. It got to the point that its users would greet one another in face to face meetings with "Hecko!"
- greglindahl 11y agoI see people on dating websites writing c* cktail with the '* '. Not nearly as funny as Hecko, though!
- Pitarou 11y agoBonus points for the most creative pull requests. Chocolate starfish, rusty sherrif's badge and brown eye are all missing.
- BorisMelnik 11y agoI wouldn't blindly use this as a blacklist for spam etc, lots of words here like "vagina" might be OK on a medical site or even some racial slurs if a news agency is reporting a quote etc. Definitely a good list to use as a starting point.
- BooneJS 11y agoWas this list written by a guy?
- gizmo686 11y agoI'm not sure, but the inclusion of "vagina" would not seem to indicate it, as "penis" is included in the list as well. This seems to be a list of sex related words, without additional considerations.
- Pitarou 11y agoWho uses the word "vagina" for obscene purposes anyway?
- JetSpiegel 11y agoNeo-victorians.
- Pitarou 11y agoWouldn't vulva be more accurate?
- cormullion 11y agoHilarious. See if you can find: - a word from the 10 commandments - a great jazz album from Herbie Hancock - a James Bond film - the surname of a US presidential candidate for the 2012 republican nomination
- lmkg 11y ago> - the surname of a US presidential candidate for the 2012 republican nomination That one is a bit of a special case. His name is a swear word because it's his name. As a protest against him, people decided to make his name into a dirty word, and seem to have succeeded.
- Pitarou 11y agoWhat a fun and educational quiz! Thank you. And the answers are: - a word from the 10 commandments ass, of course. An easy start. - a great jazz album from Herbie Hancock Today I learned that Herbie Hancock is a jazz musician who made an album called Mr Hands. I also learned that there is a video of a man being buggered by a horse called Mr Hands. Thank you for enriching my life. - a James Bond film And at this point I lose all respect for the compiler of this list. Octopussy is a James Bond film. That is all. Any other usages are just silly. - the surname of a US presidential candidate for the 2012 republican nomination Santorum! Santorum! Do people actually use that word, or is it just a running joke?
- teddyh 11y agoFor anyone thinking of using this: You will never be able to make people not say “bad” things. “I want to stick my long-necked Giraffe up your fluffy white bunny.” http://habitatchronicles.com/2007/03/the-untold-history-of-toontowns-speedchat-or-blockchattm-from-disney-finally-arrives/ http://habitatchronicles.com/2007/03/the-untold-history-of-t...
- greglindahl 11y agoOne good reason to use a list like this is to filter suggestions. If a user types 'cun' into a search box, almost all websites will not want to suggest you-know-what as a completion. Edit: and alas, at Blekko they never let me ship an April-fool's "Did you mean: Mother trucking son of a blintz?" module. No sense of humor.
- potatolicious 11y agoI agree in spirit, but then you end up with aggravating cases where Apple refuses to let me write "fucking" and replaces it with "ducking" instead ;)
- greglindahl 11y agoThat isn't filtering suggestions, so no, that's not what I was talking about.
- derefr 11y agoHe's talking about text autocomplete, which is a suggestion mechanism. Autocorrect knows full-well that "fucking" is a word, and doesn't put a squiggle under it or anything. But autocomplete—the thing that happens if you write "fuc" and then move the insertion cursor—will skip right past that word in the Autocorrect database give you "duck" as the best-fuzzy-match.
- dave2000 11y agoOr this, literally from this week: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/news/facebook-bans-users-from-promoting-posts-with-the-word-scunthorpe-in-them-a6968471.html http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/new...
- andrewfromx 11y agomy favorite story on this was back in BBS days this one board would change the f word to "gently caressing" and it really changed the tone of heated arguements.
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- m0nty 11y ago"Huge tits" but not "huge melons", "nigga" but not "niggaz"? Who wrote this thing? I think this is about 0.1% of the "naughty" words out there, and it's futile anyway (former school sys admin here, I know what I'm talking about ;) This is before we get onto the desirability of blindly blocking words like "nigger" which have different meanings depending on who is using them, ref. "my nigger", or "tits", ref. "blue tits are eating the nuts again".
- rschuetzler 11y agoYou can check the README. It's from ShutterStock, and it's their list of words to filter image suggestions. https://github.com/shutterstock/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscene-and-Otherwise-Bad-Words https://github.com/shutterstock/List-of-Dirty-Naughty-Obscen...
- m0nty 11y agoWell it's still a very basic effort. If the job it's trying to do is annoy users, it's fine, but if it's trying to limit use of bad language, it mostly fails.
- kazagistar 11y agoIts trying to prevent accidental autocomplete, not limit usage.
- punkcoder 11y agoGeorge Carlin would be proud...
- frank0631 11y ago#2 is there in some forms, but #5 is surprisingly absent!
- peterwwillis 11y agoI think he'd be disappointed. Here is his extended list of dirty words: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSlbEq0roEM#t=35s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TSlbEq0roEM#t=35s or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ee4wqZvf8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N0ee4wqZvf8 (try the closed captions button!) I'm especially fond of bearded clam, and i've actually used 'gleet' in a poem.
- ommunist 11y agoI like pull requests.
- homero 11y agowrapping men!
- stevenmays 11y agoNot to be confused with the big list of naughty strings... https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings https://github.com/minimaxir/big-list-of-naughty-strings
- minimaxir 11y agoSomeone tried to PR a large amount of curse words which I vetoed because it was redundant. Which is why I'm happy to see a more comprehensive list. :)
- verbatim 11y agoFor the curious, the last entry on the list is the single unicode character: U+1F595 REVERSED HAND WITH MIDDLE FINGER EXTENDED
- mstrcnvs 11y agoIn the PT version we have "bissexual" and "homem gay" (gay man). Bad words? Huh?
- mstrcnvs 11y agoThis is hilarious, can't be serious. We have also: - burro (donkey) - cerveja (beer) - inferno (hell) - torneira (water tap) - frango assado (roasted chicken) - aranha (spider)
- stoic 11y ago"There was a girl on TV who was talking about..." What do you mean I'm banned?
- mizchief2 11y ago377? Back in my day there were only 7.
- lukeone 11y agoI knew more of them in third class... Maybe crawling 4chan with a ANN?!
- _michael 11y agoI hear Rick santorum has his money tied up in a shrimping operation
- paul_milovanov 11y ago~380 lines? What a poverty of imagination.
- tauchunfall 11y agoIn this repository are also lists of words in other languages, including Esperanto.
- njloof 11y ago"alaskan pipeline"?
- jejones3141 11y agoI guess the lyrics of Thomas Campion's "I Care Not For These Ladies" are right out, then...
- greglindahl 11y agoHard to keep a straight face when singing about "golden showers", I must admit.
- c3534l 11y agoEscort really shouldn't be on there, nor "jelly donut," and words like "hardcore" and "neonazi" are really quite questionable. And yet it's missing words like condom, scrotum, and labia.
- ARussell 11y agoThere are so many words here about sex, but none that I can see about violence. Sometimes I am so puzzled by American culture (assuming this list was compiled by an American).
- walrus01 11y agoThe people who live in Dildo, Newfoundland will be disappointed.
- wodenokoto 11y agoWhy was the swastika included in the Japanese list? While it has pretty bad connotations, particularly in the west, in Japan it retains a pre-World World II meaning of holy and sacred.
- al2o3cr 11y agoProtip: if your list of words doesn't include Carlin's Seven, you're not trying hard enough. Seriously: "splooge moose" gets an entry but "cocksucker" doesn't? Even Urban Dictionary, usually a canonical source for profane euphemisms, doesn't have a definition for that first one...
