Hey man, don't pin these definitions on us.
I went looking in a british dictionary for these words, and they did not have most of these definitions.

Just because it's a Canadian e-reader doesn't mean it uses a Canadian dictionary.
In fact, I looked up some of these definitions and it's definitely taking them from the Merriam-Webster dictionary WHICH IS AMERICAN.
Canada is in North America.
I MEANT UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN.
I don't see the problem.
So, would "A cunt that fags." technically be correct?
Like, "A Woman that works hard."
Or "My fuck is a cunt."
"My sexual partner is a woman."
I mean, not really... but according to this dictionary...
Like, in what situation can you use "fuck" instead of "sexual partner".
Or you can just...not.
The English language is truly wonderfull.

All I can say is that English is a diverse language.
