Scrabble has published a list of 225 offensive words that are no longer allowed
"Each word in each category is then listed alphabetically, but with its letters rearranged into alphabetical or reverse alphabetical order in order to obfuscate it from the casual reader."
Anagram fun for all the family

I look forward to them finding out their list swears in other languages
and there's a schism in NASPA with players self-describing as sacred or profane depending on which version of the list they insist is canon

So what's the point in scrabble now?
My new house rule is that if you can make any word on that list it counts as a triple word score, which stacks with any other multipliers on the board.

Are they taking the ipss?
I fondly remember finding the profanity filter for our email scanner back in the day. I learned a great many new and interesting ones.

I wonder how long it'll be before Rockstar issue a patch that removes all instances of 'nigger' from the script of Grand Theft Auto 5.

NSFW - swearing and very occassional brief violence/nudity

My first watchthrough of Breaking Bad was thanks to AMC's original airing and the wonder of Bittorrent.
In the scene where Walt takes a ride-along with Hank, and sees Jessie escaping from the first-floor bedroom window of the neighbourhood cougar, the TV execs felt it necessary to blur out the woman's nipples.
Apparently, American audiences are totally capable of witnessing a body being decomposed in an acid bath, numerous counts of gun violence and a man having his throat sliced open with a Stanley knife, but a pair of tits are out of the question.
Weird fucking country.

Apparently they are considered to be sexual organs
Maybe having multiple time zones plays a part, more difficult to have a 'watershed'

Abortuaries
To play that in Scrabble, you’d have to be pretty lucky to have someone first play “abort” with enough space to add all the extra letters.

Pfft! America
where saying "pissant" is offensive but killing a classroom full of children is your constitutional right.

.22LR or .45ACP? Did you have your "popping round the corner for milk" ballistic vest?

Theocracies abandon logical thought pretty early on.
Jesus was a white man who loved money and has an AR15 in his SUV etc.
