It makes sense to not include all medical words because technical jargon changes all the time, but common swear words are very old. The word "fuck" is more than a millennium old and every speaker would have understood you. It&#x27

"Fuck" is not a custom word. It was first attested in 772 AD. It's no way to treat adults.
