** From the mouth of James in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl'': "That's why she doesn't know a bloody thing about us, there's no Sinnoh Team Rocket branch!"

** From the mouth of James got away with this twice in ''Anime/PokemonTheSeriesDiamondAndPearl'': "That's why she doesn't Once in "Two Degrees of Separation!" when James describes that Dawn "Doesn't know a bloody thing about us, there's no Sinnoh Team Rocket branch!" us", and the other in "Staging a Heroes' Welcome!" when he says that he and Meowth "didn't do a bloody thing" when Jessie thought they helped her win the Contest. While international broadcasts of the former episode kept the line intact, the latter episode had the line re-recorded to "didn't do a ''single'' thing".
** Dawn once used the word "Bummer" in the episode "Battling The Generation Gap!". Like with James' first example, this was not edited for international broadcast.

Added word of god explanation for Loki's archaic curse in the Avengers movie.


* In ''Film/TheAvengers2012'', Loki calls Black Widow a "mewling quim" at the end of a particularly vicious rant, quim being old English slang for the [[CountryMatters female genitalia]]. The film is rated PG-13. The word is pretty archaic, and even those who know what it means would find it more a novelty than actually offensive.

Word of God is that the line was put in so the censors could cut it, and they could then argue that other lines should be left in, unfortunately the censors didn't understand it and ignored it instead.

** In Spain, ''culo'' is usually a perfectly innocent word for "butt". Virtually elsewhere, the word is more akin to "ass". European Spanish dubs of children's cartoons use ''culo'' liberally, something that no LatAm dub would be able to pull off without raising eyebrows.

* Irish actor Colm Meaney got away with saying "bollocks" in the ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'' episode "Time's Orphan." The BBC airing was edited accordingly.

** In the rest of the world, "Bantu" refers to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_peoples a collection of ethnic groups]] who speak [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bantu_languages a family of related languages]] spoken by a majority of the population in southern, central, and much of eastern Africa. In South Africa talking about Bantu languages is acceptable, but referring to ''people'' as "Bantu" has pejorative connotations because the apartheid regime used that term to refer to Black South Africans. It doesn't help that Black people were forced to live in segregated "homelands" (similar to UsefulNotes/{{North America}}n [[NeglectedRez reservations/reserves]][[note]]the former term is used in the UsefulNotes/UnitedStates, the latter in UsefulNotes/{{Canada}}[[/note]] for that continent's own Indigenous peoples) that were internationally nicknamed [[{{Countrystan}} Bantustans]].

Added DiffLines:

** When ''VideoGame/MarioKart8Deluxe'' was originally released, whenever the Inkling girl passed another racer, she'd taunt them by placing her hand on a flexed bicep, pumping her first into the air. While this gesture doesn't have much significance in Japan or the US, [[https://www.polygon.com/2017/5/18/15658198/mario-kart-8-deluxe-version-1-1-patch-notes-inkling-girl-animation it essentially means "up yours" in specific parts of Europe and Latin America]], so the gesture was patched out shortly after release.
