Well, wrong. A slang word or spelling is a "proper" word once it comes into wide enough usage. For example, "thru" was nothing more than people being lazy and not caring to use the proper spelling of "through". However, it has now (sadly) become an acceptable spelling of the word, and a proper word in its own right. The internet is increasing the speed at which such words become proper words.
The words "phat" and "pwned" and several other words I will gladly detail for you if you want to be bored to freaking death (as is "freaking" as a euphemism) are in common usage today, and even 57 year old women know them and use them. If they aren't in the dictionary today, they almost certainly will be in the next edition.
