"jizz" is a word

The word "jizz" is accepted as an entry. I looked at dictionary.js which refers to https://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabbledict/ as the reference library for acceptable words (so this is probably

Behavior: Noticed the entry "jizz" was accepted in Hard mode (screenshot here: https://imgur.com/a/TUSSLBL ).

Investigation: I see in the header of the most recent dictionary.js that the word list was obtained from https://sourceforge.net/projects/scrabbledict/ in which case this is probably more a question for them. I referenced the official Scrabble online search (https://scrabble.hasbro.com/en-us/tools#dictionary), and as of writing it seems the word is invalid/not an official word. Screencap of this behavior here: https://imgur.com/a/erXwadp (as oddly the Scrabble dictionary doesn't reference the search term in the UI or URL).

Details: This was at approx. ~11pm EST 2020-12-09, Chrome Version 86.0.4240.193, MacOS 10.15.7.

Cheers

I redownloaded the dictionary and confirmed it does have that word and according to your link it's not an acceptable word. Do you happen to know of a better downloadable Scrabble dictionary that I could use?
