how deep do you think this list needs to be?

might not any word in the bible, koran or other holy book,  encounter
resistance if all do not like how it will be used or spelled.

and how many names and nicknames are there for every single prurient
body part and bodily function?

or curse words, or their derivatives.  for how long would even
neowords like frackin or frilling survive off the discard list?
