I've read through the discussion here... http://stackoverflow.com/questions/273516/how-do-you-implement-a-good-profanity-filter

I've decided to implement a bad word filter using the badlist referenced in that thread. However I'm thinking about the scunthorpe problem. (see wikipedia I can't post the link, I'm a new user)

Is there a white list of words like scunthorpe and manuscript that I can use to override a black list?

(not interested in discussions about sensorship etc)
