Trying to sub inside a embed with swears, doesn't work for strings in the last list

I'm attempting to make an urban dictionary command, I am substituting swear words with the word '[NSFW]' though it only works when I place the swear in the last part of the list.

My Code:

nsfwdefine = ["swear1", "swear2","swear3"]

// there are headers I just didn't add them because it has my apikey.

async with ClientSession() as session:
    async with session.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring) as response:
        r = await response.json()
        embed = discord.Embed(title=f"All result for {term}", description=None,color=0xff0000)
        embed.set_author(name=ctx.author.display_name, url="https://ass.com/", icon_url=ctx.author.avatar_url)
        definition = r['list'][0]['definition']
        embed.add_field(name=term, value=definition, inline=False)
        txt = str(definition)
        for y in nsfwdefine:
          x = re.sub(y, '[NSFW]', txt)
        print(x)

embed2=discord.Embed(title=f"All results for {term}", description=x)
embed2.add_field(name="Info",value=":warning: If your message contains the word [NSFW] then you need to rerun the defintion in a NSFW Channel.")

(await ctx.send(embed = embed2))

I'm not entirely sure what's going on, does anyone know the solution to this?

I'm not sure why you're using re.sub() though you can achieve this using the string replace() method.

swears = ["swear1", "swear2", "swear3"]
sentence = "hello swear1 this is swear2 a sample swear3 sentence!"

for word in swears:
    sentence = sentence.replace(word, "[NSFW]")

print(sentence)

Output: hello [NSFW] this is [NSFW] a sample [NSFW] sentance!
