@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.
To be clear, some of the words included here are incredibly offensive, and are generally used to punch down.
Others... not at all!
@neil A triptych on, a story in 3 pictures.
@neil
Wow wow, easy! 80 pages of naughty words?
