If anyone thinks less of you because you simply know five swearwords, it's pretty much their problem.
That's your position. When i'm hiring, there is simply no way i would bring someone on board who didn't know at least ten.
If I remember correctly, it included a twitter account that was not obviously linked to the persons name.
There was an entry for every (re-)tweet that contained swearing, associated with a negative score.
Also, if you're swearing on public platforms, you almost never know if/how the platform itself may react. Maybe it affects the likelyhood of your contribution(s) being shown to others.
In that regard, adding more motherfucking swearwords in my bullshit comments serves as a great fucking way to deter any asshole cunt that thinks such metrics are a good goddamn idea. Dick pussy ass.
And of course "fuck[ing]" and "shit" are used prolifically.
Find All “=“ Replace with “FUCK” Copy/Move Find All “FUCK” Replace with “=“
Also handy for updating words or names when word processing.
The choice dates back to my first computer - I remember replacing all spaces “ “ with “FUCK” and watching gloriously as the assignment I had written was slowly turned into curse word gibberish.
I tell myself I still do it because (especially capitalised) it does stand out as an error in a way other placeholders may not. But it’s mostly for the fun and cheap thrill - pretty sure only one client ever got a document that I had left fucked up in this way.
[Edit to add: Nothing pseudonymous about my account name, but I’ll fucking own it.]
My skills weren't high enough to compete with other merchants on the highest margin common items, so I decided to try one of the lower priced things. Squeeze into some kind of niche, you see.
Around this time, I discovered the censorship list was enforced client side (oh the wild west old days...),
To make a long story long, there were these crabs and they dropped an item called "nippers". They were kind of a cute thing because though that was what they were called by the game's creators, the game censored you for saying it. I removed "nip" from the list of gylphs, I could shout an offer to buy them without interference. This let me buy these items from players without any competition. As the only dedicated purchaser, I was able to preserve a much higher margin.
Thanks to a soft monopoly preserved by regulations and information asynchrony, I was able to make significantly more money than I would have otherwise. That taught a lot of lessons to ~15 year old me. If only I could have applied those lessons in the real world!
It worked like this.
1. Make a copy of the text to be filtered, modified as follows.
-- change upper case letters to lower case
-- change 0 to o, 1 to i, 3 to e, 5 to s, and vowels with various accent marks to the corresponding unaccented lower case vowel
-- discard anything else
For example, if the input was
start the assault. let's f-u-c-k them
starttheassaultletsfuckthem
3. If no bad words are found, the original string is returned and we are done.
4. For each word in the original string, look it up in the dictionary (I believe I used /usr/dict/words). Note the ranges of character positions in the original string of the words that are spelled correctly.
5. For each bad word found in the filtered string, if all of its characters came from positions in the original string that were part of correctly spelled words, leave it alone. Otherwise, asterisk out its characters in the original string.
In the above example, "ass" would be left alone because all of its characters came from "assualt" which is recognized as a correctly spelled word. None of "fuck" came from correctly spelled words, so it would get zapped. The final result would be
start the assault. let's *-*-*-* them
my name is woody (like the tom hanks cowboy, but also, i've been told, like the outdated euphemism for an erection) and i've been scunthorped out of creating accounts on dozens of sites because of my name. it's aggravating at the best of times, but doubly so when i want to be actually recognizable on the service in question.

For example, if the input was "Start the assault. let's f-u-c-k them" it would become "starttheassaultletsfuckthem".
2. Scan this for any substrings that are on the bad word list. In this case it would find "ass" and "fuck" [1].

What are the only 3 English football clubs with swear words in their names?
1. Scunthorpe United, 2. Arsenal, 3. F*ing Man United!
Assume "arse" and "anal" are both on the bad and that underscores are treated like irrelevant whitespace.
Arsenal
A___nal
A______
Yeah, if you type "cuntits" it only censors "unt".
I particularly like that arsenal is censored to a___nal.
