Substitutions seems like good choices!

These don't seem like critical changes to me, but I'm certainly fine with them.
You learn new derogatory terms every day... I just assumed one of the words referred to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kaffir_lime

Swaps out adjectives that could read as ableist, as nationality used as a generic personality trait, as substance-abuse stigmatizing language, as body- or appearance-shaming, as colonial- or racially-coded "othering" language, as trivializing real hardship (including terms tied to homelessness/vagrancy), as profanity, as crude/vulgar, as evoking violence or sexual assault, or as referencing mobility impairment or intimidation, for neutral, equally whimsical descriptors, and drops one adjective outright — leaving 2179 unique adjectives (down from 2180). This also replaces a stray all-caps "TRUE" entry duplicating "true". Also swaps an ethnic slur out of the animals list for a real animal name, since it sat in the same lookup table. Passes clang-format-20 --dry-run --Werror and the Empecable spell checker.

Swaps out adjectives that could read as ableist,
nationality-as-personality-trait terms, substance-abuse stigmatizing terms, body-shaming terms, colonial-tinged terms, a term that trivializes homelessness, mild profanity, and crude
terms, for neutral, equally whimsical descriptors —
preserving the original word count (2180) and uniqueness.
Also swaps an animals list entry for the
real bird name "kakapo", since it sat in the same lookup table.
