I agree that it would be hard, impractical, and annoying to have to look up every questionable word we want to use. However, using our free copy of common sense, we probably know (without looking anything up), whether the word would be considered vulgar or not. Also, I also understand that the writers of the dictionaries probably had different opinions than you or me. And, yes, some of them are probably wrong. But, the people who wrote the dictionaries did not use their opinions as fact, even if they believed that their opinion was right. Instead, they use the definitions derived from common usage and wording of the people. Therefore, the definitions are probably right. And another point is that the Oxford Dictionary of English was written before the age of political correctness, which means that the definitions are not biased by what rulers and politicians want to hear (I can't say the same about the New Oxford American Dictionary, because I don't know, and I don't want to spread false information).
