Anal much?
by vincent1963
What does inclusion in a dictionary add to a word? Profanity and slang do not belong in the dictionary. Not because they are too dirty, but because the dictionary is an anal tool of rigid classification that isn't worthy of the breadth and depth of meaning really good cussing embodies.

That's why there are slang dictionaries. They're fun too. Everyone should have one.

Agreed! But in a slang dictionary the rules should be looser and not worry about exactitude.
