I agree. It's taking the basic word, and then combining it in a form not in M-W, or that Dr. Bob hasn't yet added to the list. The thing is, creative folk (= Babblers) can take a word like f*ck, and pretty much attach it in numerous ways to another word, or part of a word, so Dr. Bob will have to keep adding each new one posters come up with....right?<sigh> trials of being an administrator, I suppose.
