I see “blocklist” becoming more popular in programming. But it just occurred to me how bizarre and out of place it would be if the parent comment said “a blocklisted word”.

Plenty of people now say allowlist and denylist instead of whitelist and blacklist.
Goodlist and ungoodlist.
Blocklist for me is a list of blocks, like the one you gather with badblocks(8) and then pass to fsck(8).
