RudeLex (Resource for Understanding Discourse Expletives) is a joint project compiling English and Polish profanity, epithets, slurs, swearwords and curses as well as some data about them, including offensiveness and context of use.
The goal is to establish a resource for interpreters and translators faced with working with profanity. RudeLex is free to use.
