You trusts it’s definitions as more than jokes?
You think it's that bad? Usually when I search a definition it makes sense in the context that caused me to search for the definition.

#33What would be a programmatic approach to find a list of most rarely used words (in any language?).

I suspect it is more about legal exposure, rather than thinking someone is going to come up with a new insult. For example, I suspect you can imagine some words that even being seen on a device in your company would end up in a civil lawsuit settlement.
