    It is a general-purpose function, which can replace specific words with
    desired ones, or remove them. It receives a list of stop words and another
    list of replace words.

    Args:
        text (str): Accepts only one element (i.e., scalar).
        stop (list, default None):
            List of words which are going to be filtered out.
        replace (list, default None): List of replace words.

    Returns:
        A text variable of <class 'str'> after removing stop words.

    Examples:
        >>> input_text = "Welcome to the lovely vlg of Budleigh Babberton"
        >>> replace_stop_words(input_text, stop=['vlg'], replace=['village'])
        'Welcome to the lovely village of Budleigh Babberton'
