	As one of my linguistics professors would frequently say, "balderdash."

	Websters dicitonary does not contain the word "fuck", but it is
an English word.   Dictionaries are usually a bit behind the time and
they are simply lists of how people use words.    People made talked
and made up new words long before there were dicitionaries to catalog
the words.
