Can someone show me a list of swear words

I need to create a website and I want to filter out filthy words or
swear words. To my surprise, it is difficult to find such a list from
google.

So if you have that list, can you please share with me so that I can
keep my site clean.

Thanks very much in advance.

I especially like the fact 'boobs','booobs','boooobs','booooobs' and
'booooooobs' are considered swear words (which I hardly think so, but
whatever, I'm no native speaker), but 'boooooobs' apparantly is allowed.

Looking at it some more, even more hilarious is the fact 'b!tch', 'b17ch'
& 'b1tch' are swear words, but 'bitch' isn't.

Another plus: having 'balls' as a swear word might render any sports
related website quite weird...

I've long. long, long, very long, did I say long?, in ancient times,
before man stood upright, and again very long ago given up on the whole
concept of automated swear word filtering. Those who want to do it will
find a way. If you allow user addition of texts and want a profanity
filer, moderating it os IMHO the only real way to go. All those lists
could possibly be used as a call for extra attention from the moderators,
but that's about it.

The list needs work. Breast is one of the filtered words... since when is
breast cancer a taboo subject?

A list of bad, vulgar, obscene etc words is doomed to failure because
many words have several meanings.You have to know the context in which
they are used. I will give a few examples from the list of bad words
given:

anal - a perfectly correct word when used in a medical context;
ass - the name of an animal sometimes called donkey. Used in the
Bible;
bitch - a female canine, especially a female dog;
bloody - If you have blood on you, you are bloody. Other meanings in
UK;
breasts - have you never eaten chicken breasts?;
chink - a small crack or fissure. To stop up;
cock - an adult male bird. Cock is the proper technical name for a
male parrot.;
cox - There are a lot of people with cox as their last name;
dick - There are a lot of people who use this first or nickname i.e.
Dick Nixon;
faggot - a bundle of sticks or twigs used as fuel;
fanny - the first name of some women;
gaylord - the last name of some people;
nazi - a member of Hitler's political party. Needed for history;
pawn - many meanings including a chess piece;
smut - many meanings including something such as soot that smudges;
snatch - to seize or take away suddenly;

Any filtering based on single words is doomed to failure and runs the
danger of making one a laughing stock. Filtering that takes context
into consideration is very difficult, found mostly in pay programs,
and still is far from perfect.

....and I love the breast while my wife loves the legs. It makes buting
a pre-cooked chicken very handy.

There is, in American culture, a canonical list of Seven Dirty Words
(which should be able to be found with Google looking for that phrase).
You can use that to start with. I recommend treating those as whole
words rather than partial words though.

The plural of datum is not "facts".
A collection of facts is not "knowledge".

.... as otherwise substition of part of those words could create clbuttic
errors.
