Update word_list.txt to be family-friendly

Open marissaquitt opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

No swears or profanities. Word length 5+ letters, sorted first by length (5-9 letters, then 9+ letters), then by English (USA) word frequency. It is unfortunately not as complete as the 87k word list currently in use, but has the bonus of not having to comb through all the words by hand to remove dirty ones.

the goal of the word list is to generate funny word combinations. thus, reducing the size of the word list or making the words less interesting is an antigoal. you can submit a pr to remove the word "blowjob" though if you want

However will we manage with only 8000^3 possible combinations?

I'm in favor of this change. I don't like having family unfriendly words in the list, and it's been impossible to remove them manually

I suppose an alternative would be to apply some family-friendly censoring software to the list to automatically remove the unwanted words, while still keeping a big list. We can always do that after making it family friendly in this easy way first, though

well, i like having family unfriendly words in the list. in general, the site is intended to be used by adults. in this case, i'm willing to compromise that blowjob might be a little bit too family unfriendly, so I have removed it from the list. feel free to submit a pull request for any other words that you think are overboard.
