"Bowdlerize" is more specific than "censor". I don't think it applies here.

- zackattack 17y agoBowdlerize means change out the swear words. i.e., expurgate them. [ex = out of , purg = cleanse, ate = verb] Thomas Bowdler was a guy who published a women-and-children friendly translation of Shakespeare. I regret posting this, because I strongly suspect the more time-consuming process of actually looking up a word would improve retention. This is because declarative memory is actually condensed episodic memory. Even better, look it up yourself after reading this post! At a different time and a different location!
