Thanks a lot guys. Multilingual will also be a hurdle tbh. The data will only 
be coming From 2 languages but it will prove to be potentially challenging 
nonetheless. French and English so “merde” will be making that list. This 
requirement is in itself an edge case for my project so ML may be overkill 
hence why I was thinking the list. The data being inserted is from sources that 
we have “control” over. This requirement is simply for the worst case scenario 
that we miss something. We might also want to allow this profanity which is why 
we need to flag it rather than strip it all together. 

This provides me with great direction.
