It is heavily context- and culture-dependent. Eg. a word many USAians appear (even in 2025!) to find extremely offensive is a very common term of endearment in Australia — but can also have the polar opposite meaning. When I watched Game of Thrones I frequently wondered if the director/writers were also trying to make USAians more comfortable with that same word. The global nature of this project suggests to me that changes such as proposed here should continue to be rejected. Also rather amused that OP complained about a wordlist but not /usr/share/games/fortune. It suggests a very shallow, lazy approach approach to word-policing John
