List of profane words.

Contents

What is this?

This package exposes lists of profane words in several languages.

When should I use this?

This is a flat list of words. See cuss for the same words, rated for sureness: how likely they are to be used as either profanity or clean text.

Install

This package is ESM only. In Node.js (version 14.14+, 16.0+), install with npm:

npm install profanities

In Deno with esm.sh:

import {profanities} from 'https://esm.sh/profanities@3'

In browsers with esm.sh:

<script type="module">
  import {profanities} from 'https://esm.sh/profanities@3?bundle'
</script>

Use

import {profanities} from 'profanities'
import {profanities as profanitiesFr} from 'profanities/fr'

console.log(profanities.includes('butt')) // true
console.log(profanitiesFr.includes('boule')) // true

API

profanities exports the following entries:

  • profanities — English
  • profanities/ar-latn — Arabic (Latin)
  • profanities/es — Spanish
  • profanities/fr — French
  • profanities/it — Italian
  • profanities/pt — Portuguese
  • profanities/pt-pt — European Portuguese

Each entry exports the identifier profanities. There are no default exports.

profanities

List of strings (Array<string>).

Data

The data includes many profane words and phrases in different languages. In many contexts, those words are not profane though. See cuss for the terms (and a rating of sureness).

Types

This package is fully typed with TypeScript. It exports no additional types.

Compatibility

This package is at least compatible with all maintained versions of Node.js. As of now, that is Node.js 14.14+, 16.0+, and 18.0+. It also works in Deno and modern browsers.
