A censor bleep is the tone that covers a word too rude to broadcast. Cut by a censor bleep, a censor bleep over it, three censor bleeps in a sentence.
It hides the word without hiding that a word was there, which is why everybody still knows what was said. The tone is a plain sine wave at about a thousand hertz, chosen because nothing else on air sounds like it.
