"Bowdlerize" means to censor material to a ridiculous extent, supposedly to make it suitable for women and children. Thomas Bowdlerize did this first to the works of [[Shakespeare]] in the early 1800s, and then to the classic ''Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire'' by Edward Gibbons, as well as to other works.
