    But that’s not a swear or curse word. The swear words are: shit, piss, fuck, cunt, cocksucker, motherfucker, tits, damn, sonofabitch, goddamn, ass, asshole, bastard and other plays on those words.

    And I’m pretty sure the unalive thing came from TikTok pulling and censoring videos with the word kill in them.
