In approaching a new dictionary, I use FUCK as a litmus test. First thing I do is leaf my way to the F's, seek out FUCK, and see what they have to say. If the given definition fails to satisfy, if it doesn't align with my pragmatic knowledge of how the word works out there in the world in all sorts of contexts of action, then I put down the dictionary and move on.
