Can you post that list here?

  No can do, but https://developers.google.com/style/word-list https://developers.google.com/style/word-list seems to have all of them and more, except that it's missing "hooray." One funny red-exclamation-mark example from this public list is "smartphone." Some are recommended against just cause of spelling or something, but anything that says to use a more "precise" term seems to mean it's considered offensive, kinda like in The Giver.

    Adhering to that list seems exhausting…

    Here's another one: https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/stanfordlanguage.pdf https://s.wsj.net/public/resources/documents/stanfordlanguag... BTW hooray is okay there, but 'hip-hip-hooray is discouraged. Germans said hep hep in the hep-hep pogrom of the early 1800s and might have said 'hep hep hurra' during the 3rd Reich. It cuts too closely though, personally I just use bravo to avoid any trouble.

      At least Stanford's rules were retracted. About hip hip, I ended up looking into that when I saw it back then. The connection to the early 1800s riots was made by a single journalist back then, and it was most likely false. More importantly, nobody really makes that connection unless they're trying to.
