Download a list of swear words (they're free as in beer and free as in speech):
swearWords.xmlWe've got a list of Frequently Asked Questions and some links to other resources on swearing, including other sites offering free or commercial lists of bad words (often better than the ones we offer).
By their very nature these lists of swear words contain material many will find offensive. But that's kind of the point!
These lists are free to download. You may use them for any purpose you wish and may copy, modify and distribute them freely. The swear words lists are provided "as-is" without any warranty or guarantee whatsoever. Don't blame me when the users of your forum, blog or community find more creative ways of offending people.
You're in the wrong place, you can get the banished word list from Lake Superior State University from the first of January.
Want to try it out? Just type or paste some text into the box below (preferably with a few juicy swearwords in)
This is one example of how we use these lists. We highlight swearwords to help human moderators spot swearing in user generated content, but you could do it just for comedy value. You could write a swearword filter, but they don't work very well in the real world.
For an explanation and other examples, we've put together a swearing sand box for you to play in. And there's further discussion of the whys and wherefores in the FAQs
