Adjective

1. Not expurgated, not having had anything objectionable removed
   • 1897, W.S. Maugham, Lisa of Lambeth, chapter 1

     Suddenly she stopped short, and disengaged herself from her companion.

     'Oh, I sy,' she said, 'this is too bloomin' slow; it gives me the sick.'

     That is not precisely what she said, but it is impossible always to give the exact unexpurgated words of Liza and the other personages of the story, the reader is therefore entreated with his thoughts to piece out the necessary imperfections of the dialogue.

   • 1987 December 19, Janet Maslin, “The Movies: 'Eddie Murphy Raw'”, in The New York Times‎^[1], →ISSN:

     No remark of Mr. Murphy's can be printed here in unexpurgated form, but his observations about relations between the sexes are nothing if not keen.
