Hmmm, I imagine Eric could, if he wanted to, rewrite the code to catch this stuff, if he doesn't do anything else for quite a while, and you (and your host site) don't mind the enormous overhead. Send him the complete libretto, in Italian, English, German, French Russian, Czech, Spanish and whatever other languages you have lying around, for all operas, so he'll have a database for comparison (you don't want the naughty words axed if they're legit quotes, do you?) Actually, I thought this was why Eric created listowners; they run forever at no cost, are easy to program with a little bit of documentation, they can take care of things like naughty words on their lists without messy code rewrites and, as they're idiots to start with, they don't care about anything except their lists.
