Some words are filtered out because they are considered profane or vulgar, and since this is a knowledge seeking site, there is no need for posts to contain that type of language (and it's to spare the minors from dealing with yet another site full of vulgarities).
Not sure what word you are referring to specifically, and some words that the filter catches seem inappropriate to filter (like the shortened word for pornography).
