Hi, Chris. I am sure a master list can be acomidated. It would also help narrow it down. Some words are going to be trickylike hell. Personally, I don't have a problem with someone saying that they were put through hell, but if they said to another lister to go to hell it would be good reason to not allow the word. In the end even the words like that should probably be not used listwise.
