Lez / lezzer slang for lesbian may be an issue?

Crazy times. Words are words, and scrabble is a game of words.

Even if you accept the premise there's some very surprising stuff on the list - bint, harelip etc

Plain old swear words such as wank, c*** etc are still allowed.

I actually assumed there was a list of banned words already including the stronger swear words. More interesting that most are still allowed, leads to awkwardness if a kid wins a big tournament with a triple-word score on ****er.
