bleeped
Audibly edited out
Bleeped describes audio that has been censored by replacing offensive words with a tone, typically a high-pitched beep.
Television broadcasts bleep profanity: The interview was so heavily bleeped that half the sentences were incomprehensible.
By extension, bleeped can substitute for the censored word itself in writing: What the bleep is going on?
