How to Make Alexa Swear Using Echo Devices

Truth be told, making Alexa say profane words out loud is not going to happen. Amazon doesn't allow any rash or foul words, and as soon as Alexa detects such a word, it automatically flags it and replaces it with a censored beep. However, if you're looking for a workaround, here are a few methods to make Alexa swear using your Amazon Echo devices.

1. Alexa Announcements

Although Amazon introduced announcements as a way to create an ecosystem for multiple Echo devices in your house, you can use it to your advantage when it comes to making Alexa swear. The announcement feature allows you to use cuss words like “moron,” “d*,” or “a*h,” which Amazon still allows. You can either use the voice command “Alexa, announce x” (where x is the message) or use the Alexa app to type the phrase or word you want to hear.

2. Samuel L. Jackson

If you want to add an extra personality to your Alexa experience, you can purchase the Samuel L. Jackson Alexa skill. This skill allows you to choose between clean and explicit language. When set to explicit, it uses a mix of both clean and explicit words. You can easily enable or disable this option by saying “Alexa, turn the explicit filter on/off.”

3. Allowed Cuss Words

Although it's challenging to make Alexa swear, there are still some cuss words that Amazon doesn't censor, such as “d*” and “cp.” You can search online for a comprehensive list of cuss words and try them out with Alexa to see what works and what doesn't.

4. Similar Sounding Words

Another trick is to find words that sound similar to swear words. For example, instead of using the word “f***,” you can use words like “fug” or “fuk.” This way, adults will understand what is being said, but younger individuals may not catch on directly.

5. Simon Says

The Simon Says skill allows Alexa to repeat what you say, but the stringent Amazon policy still applies. You can rely on similar-sounding words or allowed cuss words, as mentioned earlier, to make Alexa repeat them.

6. Amazon Alexa Skill Blueprints (Custom Q&A)

With Skill Blueprints, you can create custom questions and answers for Alexa to respond to. You can use this feature to make Alexa say certain words or phrases. Keep in mind that you cannot add adult words as questions or answers, so you'll need to use similar-sounding words instead.

In conclusion, it's important to note that using swear words, especially in front of children, is not recommended. Foul language and profane content can have negative effects. However, if you still choose to go ahead, using the announcement command with your own voice can add a personal touch to your curses.
