"Clean Reader � an e-reader app designed to ferret out, and block, profanity in novels and nonfiction..."

Anything wrong with that?
Blogger � and romance novel aficionado � Jennifer Porter has drawn up a rundown of the common replacements for words the app deems profanity. Among some of the noteworthies: from "whore" to "hussy," from "badass" to "tough" and, somewhat confusingly, from "vagina" to "bottom."
ADDED: "Chaucer used 'Belle Chose' (Pretty Thing) and 'Quondam' (Whatever) in The Canterbury Tales."
