ANUS or ASSHOLE? (NSFW)

Via WonderHowTo World, SCRABBLE:

Dirty SCRABBLE.  Everybody likes to play dirty, but we're not talking bluffing with fake words or closing up the board—we're talking actual "dirty" and offensive words.

Despite the exclusion of offensive words in the bowdlerized Official SCRABBLE Players Dictionary (OSPD), there are still words you may play in a normal game that sound dirty and provocative, but by definition aren't, thanks to both anatomical terms and alternate definitions.  The Official Tournament and Club Word List (OWL) allows most of these nasty and insolent words, but if you're playing at home or at school, you're going to have to use "appropriate" words in the OSPD.

Below are a few word list of dirty or dirty-sounding words in either the OSPD or OWL.  I will be updating them as I find more.  Let me know if I missed any, and I will add them.

Legitimate "DIRTY" and Offensive Word Alternatives

This word list gives acceptable, alternate words (or euphemisms) for those you would play in a "dirty" game of SCRABBLE.  NOTE: Words in bold are found in the OSPD4 and are legal in all SCRABBLE play.  Words in (parenthesis) are the lewd and obscene versions.
