To have Alexa repeat your explicit message say "Alexa announce," followed by your message. However, it is tricker if you are trying to hear Alexa swear in her voice. Most swear words are blocked on Alexa and she will typically respond to a request for her to say a swear word with "I'd rather not say anything rude." To work around this try using words that phonetically sound like swear words or replacing the vowels in swear words with vs or accented vowels. For example, you can type use "fvck" instead of "fuck". Here is how to use to announcement function:

1. Open Alexa App on your device
