Google’s Official List of Bad Words

Released by  

If you type “fuck” or “shit” into Google’s new What Do You Love? service you are adorably redirected to “kittens” instead. I dug through their source code and extracted Google’s complete list of unspeakables, embedded below.

      There’s also a disabled Kanye West easter egg in the source code, which would display these shutter shades.

      I almost think it’s offensive that in all that list is hidden this word:

      God.

      What the hell is wrong with that?!

      Also… it has “dink” in the list. What the hell is wrong with THAT?!!

      “God” is in fact in the list, but the code using the list transforms the search string to lower case before it checks. This may be a case of religious sabotage.

      Roel- the Freedom of Speech in our Constitution guarantees individuals the right to their own free speech. Google, as a corporation, has every right to not allow these words as input to this program, and it is not a violation of our First Amendment.

      Heh. You should try plugging in vaginas. Lolarific:

      Explore vaginas in 3D
      Find vaginas nearby
      Watch videos of vaginas
      Translate ‘vaginas ’ into 57 languages
      Access vaginas on the web, faster
      Call someone about vaginas
      Organize a debate about vaginas
      Measure popularity of vaginas on the web
      Alert me about vaginas

      by far the best:
      Scour the earth for vaginas

      It’s not just futile, it’s actually counterproductive. Any searches for ‘De Cock’, a famed dutch (fictional) detective is thwarted, while searches for “kutwijf”, “teringlijer”, “reetkever”, “arschloch” or “filio da puta” and other (non-english) pejoratives results in an invitation to start a discussion-group or to phone someone about it.

      Nice…

      Looks like they’ve switched to querying a URL in the background. E.g., http://wdyl.com/profanity?q=shit. This keeps the list hidden. The script is http://www.wdyl.com/js/bssmore/start-compiled.js, search for “profanity”. Curiously http://www.wdyl.com/#wanking is still permitted, revealing a regional bias.

      • Pigfucker? Are we listing every possible +fucker?
      • “buceta” (Portuguese for “cunt”). Why this single Portuguese swearword when the whole rest of the list is English?
      • Google doesn’t want you to love“homo”, “dykes” or “gaysex”.
