Dear censorious software:
Bast@rd: one born out of wedlock; a type of file or rasp (the word is stamped right on them); a type of heavy sword In its primary meaning of an illegitimate child, the word can serve as a (very) mild expletive but it is hardly worth censoring. It is found all throughout literature, and shows up frequently in books of royal lineage. Stop censoring Ian Hunter and me. It's not as if I wrote f**k, c**t, prick, dick, t**t, or even JESUS CHRIST!
