The thing is, if the employees are doing what they should be doing, they'll never run into the flag. The only time they'll see it is if they use a word they're not supposed to. So what harm does it do to have it there? If you do everything right, you don't run into it. If you do it wrong, good thing we had it. ???

In Soviet Russia, flag filters you! 😉

I just find it utterly depressing that this is needed at all. I think dug has already covered this, but some of the words going onto this list are bizarre. It's hard to understand the point of this when its application is so generically specified (to us anyway).

Also, where do you draw the line? A lot of words have more than one meaning depending on context so lots of frustration for the average user. Then they start getting around the filter which defeats the purpose. Just seems like a waste of time. Either hire decent workers or review the content then get rid of them if they aren't up to the job. Obviously you've been tasked with this so that doesn't apply. Oh well.

The application doesn't actually filter, it just suggests. It won't prevent you from using a word, just lets you know reasons why, in some context, that word wouldn't be a good idea.

Make it suggest more offensive words FTW 🙂

This application has potential.
 
I'd keep an eye out for this:

Well, I've got to tell you. I'd be very, very careful who you talk to about that, because the person who wrote that is dangerous. And, this button-down, Oxford-cloth psycho might just snap and then stalk from office to office with an Armilite AR-10 carbine gas-powered semiautomatic weapon: pumping round after round into colleagues and coworkers. This might be someone you've known for years . . . someone very, very close to you.
 
There are many phrases used for lazy and nonproductive that belong on the list.
watch out for phrases involving fido and helical fastners, for example.
I'd look on the whole barnyard section with a jaundiced eye.
