How do I handle offensive definitions?

Is there guidance for how to detect and handle offensive or derogatory definitions when I display lookups to my users?
I'm less concerned about users doing lookups on obviously offensive words (e.g. profanity), and more about common words that have obscure offensive definitions. But guidance for both of these cases is appreciated.

Hello @mharen
We don't have API features that support excluding content from the API responses at the moment. However, it is a really interesting feature.
We have forwarded this suggestion to our colleagues, thanks for flagging this up!
