This is a good question, and I think you made all the right moves with your actions:

1. You left the explicit words out;
2. You asked a question on Meta as to whether they're acceptable or not;

So, let's discuss that.

Are explicit words allowed in a programs source code?

This is the first question you ask: are explicit words allowed? That's a very relevant question, but it bears two subquestions:

1. What determines if a word is explicit?
2. Is the word necessary?

The answer to 1 is subjective, there's no formula. We know of a few general answers to that question, but there are a lot of words that are subject to interpretation.

In general, if the word is plausibly explicit (think the major four-letter words starting with f, s, etc.), I would start thinking about part 2. If the word is absolutely necessary, then there might be other possibilities.

Your question requires an explicit-word dictionary, so they're required, and necessary. So how could we put them in your question?

Some list of explicit words:

this would be our list of stuff

We can use a spoiler tag to hide them, and make a clear notation that there are explicit words embedded, the syntax for this is:

>! ...

This offers the best, in my opinion, degree of inclusion and protection. It makes absolutely certain that you took consideration for the potential severity of the language, and acted accordingly.

#But, there's a limit!

Here's the thing: there are some words that we ought not share, period. Your list might include some racially- or sexually-insensitive language. I won't name them, but I think we all know what some examples are.

###What do we do about those?

I'm not a big fan of racially- or sexually-insensitive language, even if it's in earnest. If your code relies on the use of a degrading term, I'm not against saying "it doesn't belong here."

Everything has a limit, and I'm Ok with drawing the line at terms that are commonly assumed to be used to attack someone based on their:

1. Race / ethnicity / cultural background;
2. Sexual orientation or disposition;
3. Religion or religious beliefs;

As an example of each of these, if you're using a term that attacks someone because:

1. They are black, hispanic, or another marginalized racial group;
2. They are categorized under the LGBTQ+ group (that is, lesbian / gay / bisexual / transgender / queer / etc.);
3. They are Christian, Catholic, Jewish, Islamic, etc.;

Then keep it off this site. Either remove it from the question, or don't post the question.
