I’ve been working on a project recently which required a swear filter to check postings submitted on a forum type website. Thanks to everyone who helped build the filter – we’ve managed to get together over 240 “crude” words – I admit, some I’ve never heard myself.

PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THE SQL FILE if you are easily offended. The text contains explicit words and phrases!!
I’ve made the list available in SQL format just in case anyone else it looking for a similar list.

Hi, would you mind if we used this list in a mod for sNews script?

^_^
ps. great list btw!
Hi Matt,
Nice one, hilarious read too!
Good man
I have a children’s site and really needed a “bad word” list and couldn’t believe how difficult it is to find. thanks a million..what a comprehensive list you’ve compiled! I won’t ask about where your expertise comes from;-)
Is there an easy way to edit the SQL query to incorporate it into a current word censor list, like on PhpBB?
excellent, just what I was looking for, putting individual swear words into phpbb is endlessly time consuming so this is great. many thanks
I merged your wordlist with the one at http://www.mattfacer.com/new/sweary/
I hope you don’t mind. Matt’s list is stored in a SQL database, hence it was expandable, so I just wrote a script to plug your words in there.
you could just use http://www,webpurify.com
I meant http://www.webpurify.com
