Description

The dictionary was developed based on the two primary sources: (a) public lists of English swear words shared freely on websites such as www.noswearing.com, and (b) a custom-built dictionary of swear words and abbreviations (e.g., smfh, stfu, wtf, wth) derived from the manual reviews of over 60,000 Twitter messages by the research team. The inter-coder reliability of the Twitter-derived swear words achieved 92.04% agreement, with kappa alpha = .87.
