This package exposes lists of profane words in several languages.

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.

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>

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

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

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.

List of strings (Array<string>).

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).

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

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.

Words and new languages can be added to cuss. After they are added there, this project can be built to include the changes.

This package is safe.
