Well, it passes the "Scunthorpe" test for that word at least.

Oddly, it flags "sex" as profanity while finding "rape" not profanity. "sexual" is fine though. I found a false positive -- "cornhole" -- which is a sport most popular in the Midwest:

It also handles the "space in a swear word issue".

Upper Dicker, Lower Dicker and Cocking all get through as well.

Titty Hill - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titty_Hill - does unfortunately trigger the filter.

Scrotum is marked as profane too, when I am not sure it should be.
