How to f&*@ing curse in text without ducking being corrected (GBoard)

I got an odd request today, and that was to figure out how to get Google Keyboard to let a man curse in peace while he sat at a Nissan dealership and was evidently involved in a subreddit.

The solution for 2022, first half, appears to be open up somewhere where the keyboard is open and it’s not an address bar. I used Messages for this. You’ll see a little cog. Press the cog, go to Text Correction, and unselect “Block offensive words.”

From there on out you should not be plagued with censored versions of popular curse words.

I know not what this man needed the flowery language for, but as he was at a car repair place I can imagine.

This works for voice to text and swiping, so be aware when talking about going ducking and can’t see, you might get an entirely inappropriate sentence.

Keep in mind this is Google, which changes where the options are more than they change the name of the product, so if this doesn’t work after 2022 let me know and I’ll update it. I found multiple incorrect ways on the internet and just had to stumble around to find one that worked.
