OMG I won't be soooo embarassed when my grandma is watching me play

LOL, old people were young once and believe me they swore too. No matter what they tell you now :) Also, why would you be embarrassed since you are not the one swearing?

You might also find the addon "Eloquence" of interest. One of its features is a "sanitizer" which attempts to clean up in-game chat. Unlike the built-in profanity filter, though, it does so not by just hiding the words, but by substituting cleaner and/or fantasy equivalents. So, for example:

"f*ck you" becomes "away with you"

"beat the f*ck out of" becomes "beat the snot out of"

"what the f*ck" or "wtf" becomes "what on Azeroth"

"f*cking around" becomes "mucking about"

"wtf is" becomes "what in the blazes is"

In a lot of cases, where the word is simply an emotional indicator, Eloquence removes it. Thus:

"it's f*cking" becomes "it's"

"you f*cking" becomes "you"

It does this for a lot more than just the f-word. Other examples:

"crapload" becomes "remarkable amount"

"bullsh*t" becomes "nonsense"

"the sh*t out of" becomes "some sense into"

"badass" becomes "formidable"

"huge-ass" becomes "gigantic"

"sucks ass" becomes "sickens me to the core"

Other modules of it will clean up grammar and spelling, make dwarves sound Scottish, make trolls sound Jamaican, expand game-specific abbreviations, and do other things. Listening to the trade channel with it on is a trip. :-D

Why would you want to detect that word? If you find it offensive, turn on the language filter in your interface options.
