Note on ‘Slang and Expletives’ List

I apologize to anyone offended by the built-in list of Slang & Expletives, compiled from a variety of sources. The reality is that some people use truly heinous words for their credentials and this list is meant to help crack them.

Future Work

• Ability to scrape sites as an attribute in the Base Words node.
• Add dictionaries and lists for more languages
• Add UK post codes to Append/Prepend Nodes
• Option to perform de-duplication of Base Words
