@neil it’s good to see they haven’t added a Welsh version this time
If you haven’t, have a look at the 2021 Welsh language version of the report. No Welsh language experience needed to work out why
@neil The level of detail this research reveals is magnificent. I tip my hat to them.
Also, obviously, yeah it's a fun read to look up naughty words. And arguably useful to learn new ones so when the kids start using them, I can interject. Often they've heard something somewhere and don't know what it means, and while I'm pretty well educated in this regard, there are always more things to learn - e.g. I'm gold star standard with body part swears, but don't know many of the religious ones.
@neil Any thoughts regarding why a JavaScript is needed for a page with a list of (naughty or not) words?
@neil Nice to see that good old "cunt" is still a top offensive word. And hilarious that Scottish people still wonder what the fuss is all about 😆
@neil put a dash in it and suddenly a spice becomes a naughty word! Reminds me of this Tim Minchin song.

@neil How useful! I can now choose a word to precisely match the level of offence I intend.
Ranked AND colour coded. Superb!
@neil how long until they're issuing fines for using them on your website without Highly Effective Age Assurance?
@neil I see Nazi is in the "race, nationality and ethnicity" category.
No idea what Uppity is as a slur, but Mr Uppity had better mind his back or he'll get cancelled
@neil best read I’ve had in a while
@neil it’s not as funny as the Viz Profanisaurus.
@neil These are hilarious. Yes, I have the brain of a 10 year old.
@neil 'Ginger' is a swear word?
That's going to make cooking programmes awkward..
One has to laugh, or cry.
> References to sexual orientation and gender identity were considered offensive to a majority of
survey respondents
Indeed, "cis" is considered an offensive word.
@neil this is so funny, omg the english are such a pathetic people
@neil
Wow wow, easy! 80 pages of naughty words?
