What would be a programmatic approach to find a list of most rarely used words (in any language?). I'm thinking, loop a list of words from a dictionary, and see how many results a search engine would return (filtering out dictionary results) - it would take a while - most languages have some hundred thousand words.

I suspect it is more about legal exposure, rather than thinking someone is going to come up with a new insult. For example, I suspect you can imagine some words that even being seen on a device in your company would end up in a civil lawsuit settlement.
