>I'm doing an input form and want to scan and redact obscene words. Does anyone know of an available table containing offending words to match against? I know almost 92% from my own vocabulary, but though I ask for help on the remainder.....hehehehe!

Too bad George Carlin isn't still alive! One of his most famous comic routines was "Seven Words You Can't Use on Television." In a later routine he said he had added to it, unfurling a scroll about four feet long.

I was going to post it but probably in too poor taste.

His routine about the words that we use to describe the dirty words may have been funnier than the words themselves:

From the Wiki:

"Carlin adds a physical comedy portion in the beginning with “Trial and Error.” Carlin presents the idea that we have more ways to describe the dirty words that we have actual dirty words:

"Someone was quite interested in these words. They kept referring to them: they called them bad, dirty, filthy, foul, vile, vulgar, coarse, in poor taste, unseemly, street talk, gutter talk, locker Room language, barracks talk, bawdy, naughty, saucy, raunchy, rude, crude, lewd, lascivious, indecent, profane, obscene, blue, off-color, risqué, suggestive, cursing, cussing, swearing"

He had a love of our language in all its insanity. "How come there are no blue foods? Don't say blueberries -- they're purple! Who's keeping the blue food?" "Don't tell me to get on the plane. Let the daredevils get ON the plane, I'm getting IN the plane."
