Crowdsourced list of words censored on YouNow

  • See BadWords.txt for an (incomplete) list of words censored on YouNow.
  • See SurprisinglyNotBadWords.txt for an (also incomplete) list of words that, surprisingly, are actually not censored, but maybe should have been.

On a Linux command line, you can use this list in conjunction with grep to quickly figure out what part of your sentence will be censored by doing

 	echo 'Your sentence.' | grep -iFf BadWords.txt

Currently, we're not actually sure whether longer words are also censored if they only contain any (and yes, any) part of a shorter word on the known blacklist. Here is some evidence to support both cases:

Longer words banned as part of shorter words

  • kunstwerk (twerk)

Allowed longer words which contain a part on the blacklist

  • lesbitch (bitch)
  • schmiernippel (nippel)
  • warscheinlich (arsch)

Contributions are always welcome in order to make both lists a bit less incomplete!
