Though not as used by FASA...

Actually, yes, they do. Think about it. Frag is used instead of f*ck, even
by those who never heard of SR, and drek, being dirt, is actually "dirt" as
in "sh*t." Do you really think a dictionairy is going to translate drek as
sh*t? ;-)

The only one I have a problem with, and has no basis in reality, however
tenous, is "hoop" to replace "a*s." I have no idea where they got
that
from...
