Bad Words List - Censoring Help Needed

[birwin]

I have determined several ways to eliminate "bad words" from a site's input but I am hoping that someone has a list of "bad words" that I can use. Unfortunaltely my imagination probably can't come up with a list as extensive as one of today's teenagers.

Does anyone know where I can find a "Bad Words" list?

Also most of the classes that I have found to eliminate bad words replace them completely with some symbol - *** etc. I am listing files that I want to be able to display in three versions - uncensored, censored and in a censored but recognizable form - e.g. FK, S**T that will allow the reader to determine the word and its context without showing the profanity.

This means that the uncensored version will be stored in my database and the output will be censored. This may also permit a MySQL solution if that would be faster and someone knows of a way to program that.

Any ideas??

Thank You.

I actually found your situation to be amusing. After a while though, I thought to myself, that there had to be a list of idioms and slang posted somewhere on the web. So After doing a search for 'Bad Word List', and going thru counteless boring sites, I found this little gem:

A whopping 3128 entries total, in no less than 79 languages. (418 words or expressions for the English language).

Have fun!!
