I would be intrigued to see a database of, say, the top 10 or 25 languages in the world, and all their potentially offensive phrases. It would be useful to help avoid this sort of thing, and probably have some interesting things to say about linguistics and psychology.

http://wordsafety.com was posted on HN a couple of years ago.

It doesn't detect "gomix" though, which is odd, as I submitted it when gomix.com was launched and the naming snafu was mentioned here.

Edit: having tried variations on some common English words, I can see why not - the phonetic matching seems pretty poor. I wonder what algorithm they're using?

Thank you.
