$RE{profanity}
Returns a pattern matching words -- such as Carlin's "big seven" -- that are most likely to give offense. Note that correct anatomical terms are deliberately not included in the list. Under "-keep" (see Regexp::Common): captures the entire word

$RE{profanity}{contextual}
Returns a pattern matching words that are likely to give offense when used in specific contexts, but which also have genuinely non-offensive meanings. Under "-keep" (see Regexp::Common): captures the entire word $Log: profanity.pm,v $ Revision 2.104 2003/07/04 13:34:05 abigail Fixed assignment to Revision 2.103 2003/02/11 10:23:07 abigail Small fix Revision 2.102 2003/02/11 09:45:09 abigail Added Revision 2.101 2003/02/01 22:55:31 abigail Changed Copyright years Revision 2.100 2003/01/21 23:19:40 abigail The whole world understands RCS/CVS version numbers, that 1.9 is an older version than 1.10. Except CPAN. Curse the idiot(s) who think that version numbers are floats (in which universe do floats have more than one decimal dot?). Everything is bumped to version 2.100 because CPAN couldn't deal with the fact one file had version 1.10. Revision 1.2 2002/08/05 12:16:59 abigail Fixed 'Regex::' and 'Rexexp::' typos to 'Regexp::' (Found my Mike Castle). Revision 1.1 2002/07/28 21:41:07 abigail Split off from Regexp::Common.
