Need help with my profanity. Kind of.

I'm working on a project to predict the next word in a sentence, and I need to put in a profanity filter to make sure the word I predict isn't one of *those* words. I've put my list so far below the cut, and I'd appreciate it if any of you could add to my list. Thanks.

Ah screw it. Here's a fairly extensive list:

Probably more than you need.

How many derogatory terms for non-white races would you like? My grandfather had an extensive and specific collection. I remember being lectured on the difference between 'wog' and 'wop'...

Date: 2015-04-08 05:50 pm (UTC)There's also 'dago' (southern Europeans); Paki (shudder), Chink/Chinky, and lots of dodgy phrases (eg 'a touch of the tar-brush' as a description of someone of mixed race).

Date: 2015-04-09 03:32 am (UTC)A little rooting around in my vocabulary also produced "nig-nog" and "towel-head". Then in your own part of the world I believe that accusing someone of being a "Canuck" is a sure-fire way to start a fight in an ice-hockey game.
You could also go to Wiki and look up "List_of_ethnic_slurs" and "List_of_religious_slurs" - both of whom have their own pages.
I notice the lack of "bugger" as an expletive and general derogatory term. "Ahm not doing it for nae bugger else," as my home help said when cross with a couple of her clients. This may also account for my problem with "Ender's Game" (leaving aside politics), when the enemies were called the "Buggers" - did OSC know that was a standard crude term that newscasters and schoolteachers did not use?
Also surprised at the absence of "damn" in your list, plus "damnation". Along with "Hell".
Also so common it's no longer blanked out, except in very restrictive contexts, "bloody". When I was 10 or thereabouts I remember my father explaining that there were times when you could say "bloody" if you were referring, for example, to battle.
There's also the whole variety of names for the female pudenda - though "cunt" is almost rehabilitated as a down-to-earth descriptive term for aforementioned female parts, calling or referring to a woman as a "stupid cunt" would still bring down the wrath of both sorts of language police (old-fashioned and PC) - and the "stupid" bit of it is not usually the cause of complaint.
There's lots more, often round sex, but I'm too tired to dig them out. Another time maybe.

Date: 2015-04-10 12:14 am (UTC)Then new words come in. I remember my late father-in-law, a man not over-burdened with cultural sensitivities, saying that he didn't want to get lumped together with "the incompletes". It's not a term I have heard much, but with the rise in the numbers of those with dementia, I'm guessing that it will spread.
Just noticed the absence of "tart", though someone married to a foodie might find that one difficult to add to the "forbidden" list. Calling a women a "cow" is unflattering and - in these parts - calling her a "mare" still more so (one denoting general inadequacy and the other lack of discrimination in sexual partners).
A would-be candidate in the upcoming general election here came under fire for referring to a woman from Thailand as a "ting tong". Don't know how widespread that one is.
I remember reading somewhere that, once upon a time, the guardians of purity in the US wanted to ban the word "pump" from "acceptable" internet sites because of its sexual connotation. This did not go down well with all sorts of people from bicycle fanatics to people making steam engines.
"Crap" does not appear on this page, so I'm assuming it's not in your list.
Have you looked at what the Clean Reader project removes?
According the CNet review (Google "clean-reader-the-app-that-censors-rude-words-from-ebooks")
"For example, body parts in the genital region of women are all turned into "bottom"; the f-bomb becomes "freak"; "breast" becomes "chest", which at least is relatively analogous; "Jesus" becomes "gee" (which is actually a euphemistic corruption of "Jesus"); "Oh my God" becomes "Oh my goodness"; "whore" becomes "hussy"; "bitch" becomes "witch" (which could get somewhat confusing if the book actually discusses dogs)."
There's also a link there to another site reviewing Clean Reader with a list of more words that need replacing - including some oddities - when reading modern "romances". Google "My Clean Reader App Experience."
Fun - if not "good clean fun". :-)

Date: 2015-04-12 01:31 am (UTC)"McInnes has referred to Asian-Americans as "slopes" and "riceballs""
And, of course, I thought of you.
Those two epithets are both entirely new to me, but are up to date and genu-i-nely American. And, of course, very hard to distinguish from respectable words without a context.
EtA: Just seen "slope" in an earlier post. Not "riceball" though.
