Make Alexa Swear with Ease
1. Alexa Announcements
Possibly the easiest way to make Alexa swear is by making it ‘announce’ something with a curse word of some description. Of course, the most egregious profanities are still off-limits, but it still allows some PG-rated ones, like moron, ass****, d***head, etc. To do that, you issue the voice command: “Alexa, announce John Doe is a moron” (or something a little vulgar).
Of course, you can also do it from the Alexa app by going over to “Communicate -> Announce” and typing in your NSFW announcement. The voice assistant will read out whatever you type and broadcast it across your house. You need to be careful while using this feature and not blast profanities in your kids’ room.
2. Samuel L. Jackson Voice Skill
After making the purchase, make sure to turn off the explicit filter (Settings -> Music -> Explicit Filter) to get started. Afterward, every time you ask Alexa to issue a reminder for something, expect Sam Jackson to say: “I’m not reminding you of $hit.” Of course, Alexa is still going to remind you of $hit, but it will use swear words while at it.

3. Simon Says Skill
The ‘Simon Says’ skill is yet another tried and tested way to make Alexa repeat swear words. Once again, the crudest of swear words are off-limits, but you can get around that by using phonetically similar words, like using ‘faq,’ ‘fudge,’ or ‘faulk’ instead of the f-word.
To get some inspiration about dirty-sounding words that might pass muster with Alexa, check out RhymeZone, which offers a ton of similar-sounding options. Check out Simon Says Alexa skill (Free)
For example, you could ask it – “Alexa, do you think I’m funny?” and it will reply with “I don’t fooking think so.” Now that is priceless, isn’t it?
