bleepers
Profanity sound replacements
Bleepers are electronic devices that emit a short, high-pitched tone to alert the wearer—pagers carried by doctors on call, for instance.
The word also refers to the tones broadcast to mask profanity on television or radio: The interview was full of bleepers where he cursed.
Someone who bleeps out words is also occasionally called a bleeper.
