Natural Language Processing: Find obscenities in English?

Question

Given a set of words tagged for part of speech, I want to find those that are obscenities in mainstream English. How might I do this? Should I just make a huge list, and check f

Answer 1

I would advocate a large list of simple regex's. Smaller than a list of the variants, but not trying to capture anything more than letter alternatives in any given expression: like "f[u_-@#$%^&*.]ck".
