bowdlerised
Sanitized for sensibilities
Bowdlerised means censored or sanitized by removing content considered offensive, vulgar, or inappropriate.
The word comes from Thomas Bowdler, who published expurgated editions of Shakespeare in 1818, cutting passages he deemed unsuitable for women and children.
A bowdlerised version of a work has been stripped of its rougher elements: The film was bowdlerised for television broadcast.
The term often carries disapproval, suggesting the editing was prudish or unnecessary.
