Regexp:...rofanity(3)

💖 NAME 💖

Okay bestie, welcome to the Regexp::Common::profanity manual page — section 3, from the User Contributed Perl Documentation, no cap. The name is literally the assignment: Regexp::Common::profanity is lowkey here to provide regexes for profanity. 💅

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

Here's the vibe check:

use Regexp::Common qw /profanity/;

while (<>) {
    /$RE{profanity}/               and  print "Contains profanity\n";
}

Like, yes: load it, loop over input, and when $RE{profanity} matches, print Contains profanity with that \n. Slay. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Please consult the manual of Regexp::Common for a general description of the works of this interface. That's the main character move, honestly. ✨

🚨 Do not use this module directly, bestie — load it via Regexp::Common. Periodt.

🌸 $RE{profanity} 🌸

Returns a pattern matching words — such as Carlin's "big seven" — that are most likely to give offense. Note that correct anatomical terms are deliberately not included in the list. (Yes, on purpose. 🙈)

Under -keep (see Regexp::Common):

• $1 — captures the entire word

🎀 $RE{profanity}{contextual} 🎀

Returns a pattern matching words that are likely to give offense when used in specific contexts, but which also have genuinely non-offensive meanings. It's giving "depends on the context, bestie." 💅

Under -keep (see Regexp::Common):

• $1 — captures the entire word
