Lists of inappropriate words.

Coverage for:

• English (en)
• Spanish (es)
• French (fr)
• German (de)
• Dutch (nl)

Organization

Word lists are segmented out by generally into three buckets:

1. inappropriate words and phrases under most common circumstances
2. situationally inappropriate words and phrases or sometimes just mild
3. and for English, a grab-bag of to-be-determined words

Depending on the context, many words in the inappropriate list are instead situationally appropriate and vice-versa.

Comments accompany the non-English word lists to give context for some users. These appear on the same line as the word and begin with a #.

At the time of this commit, across the five languages I covered, there are 1,170 words in the inappropriate lists and 486 words in the situational/mild lists.

Known Caveats

This does not attempt to be a complete dictionary with all textual permuations. Cases of substituting numbers for letters and variations of acutes and umlattes is left as an implementation exercise.

All words are lowercase latin.

German makes use of English swear words and treats them with very little sensitivity. e.g.- "Fuck" is commonly heard in television commericals.

Apologies & Disclaimer

I'd like to apologize in advance for ... many things. I am not a linguist and have limited vocabulary in anything other than English. I am certain there are plenty of mistakes. I have a limited purpose for this and a specific context for this which shaped decisions as to where a word fell (inappopriate vs situational). Your use will not be the same and these should only be a starting point.

Lastly, I'd like to apologize to anyone embarrassed or offended by the content. The intent of releasing this openly is to lessen the effort of a developer going foward.
