I'd suggest something like this:
$buzzwords = array('idiot', 'fool', 'shit', 'FOAD');
$re = '/(' . implode('|',$buzzwords).')/is';
if (preg_match($re, $posting))
// bad word found
else
// cleared
You only need to make sure that your buzzwords dont contain a '/' - you
could change the regex delimiter then, or simply escape it in the array.
