http://www.screenit.com is a movie review site that among other
things provides parental warnings on what they consider offensive
language. A Google search on, e.g., "skank OR skanks site:
screenit.com" turns up 31 different films containing the word; a
search on "faggot OR faggots site:screenit.com" turns up 77.
