I don't understand what this is. Banned by google in what way? I can google for all these words.

> As they closed the api

What api?


You can't say these words in Google buildings or they escort you out.


I doubt these are words that a "banned". Probably more like words that trigger extra precaution in certain contexts. Medical terms like "testical" are perfectly reasonable words.


> goatse

oh no, not this again

For those who don't know: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goatse.cx


Is this accurate? How is it tested?


Check which ones don't get any suggested search results :-)


That doesnt make sense. I can search for asshole just fine.

https://www.google.com/search?q=asshole&oq=asshole&aqs=chrom...


But 'bleached asshol' doesn't suggest or correct to 'bleached asshole'


This list is way too short. What is its provenance?


arrse - there goes father ted.
