That is, unfortunately, not possible, because "foul language"
is quite definitional to a large extent.

Functioning communities can usually intrinsically develop,
informally agree upon, and pragmatically enforce a workable
definition for themselves.

And often it will be extremely hard to *codify* such working
definitions to even remotely the same degree of success.
