Interesting. "anal" is a bad word in English, but not in German. On the other hand, "naked" is a bad word in German, but not in English.

Maybe I should send a pull request...

It may that they did not add it for a reason also. There are a lot of edge cases because many potentially dirty concepts are made up of words that are not bad alone. For example a text can have both "girls" and "nude" in it without being vulgar, but if it has the phrase "nude girls" the chance for it being pornografic is much higher.
