`is_stopword` function can be used with `filter` command to filter out stopwords.  
To add new words to the list of stopwords it has, there is “include” argument.

So, with a custom filter step, you can do something like this to filter with new stopwords in addition to the list of default stop words `is_stopword` function already has.

```auto
!is_stopword(words, include=c("foo","bar"))

```
