What the s*!+ do I do to make the 4.2 swipe keyboard stop censoring me?

Question

The new swype-style keyboard on my 4.2.1 updated Galaxy Nexus is great. However, when I attempt to express myself more colorfully, the swiping action does not yield the word I would like to write. The word is already in the device dictionary though, so it does not let me add it to the dictionary to be recognized, as I have done with other words. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Answer 1

I what I will call a workaround for the present, as it is not a simple solution as allowing offensive words in voice typing, but it has the same final affect:

1. Under Settings, choose Language & Input
2. Choose Personal Dictionary
3. Click the plus (+) button in the top right
4. Enter the "offensive word" under the Phrase and Shortcut spaces
5. Click the back button (system or top left)
6. Enjoy your custom swipable profanity

Answer 2

Some keyboards have a kind of "blacklist" for bad/insulting words. Check if you can find that option in Settings → Language & Input, where you should be able to disable it. I know for sure there's such an option for voice input ("Block insults" in Settings → Voice Input & Output → Voice recognizer Settings), but I'm not sure whether that option also applies to keyboard input.
