No, it isn't, but gullible is.

A TRICK WITH THE WORD GULLIBLE!

Tell a friend that the word 'gullible' is not actually listed in the dictionary. When they insist that it must be, and try to look it up to show you, they will realise something!

The word "gullible" is, in fact, in the dictionary.

This idea that it isn't in the dictionary comes from a play on the meaning of the word, which is when you easily believe something. Basically, when someone tells you that gullible isn't in the dictionary, you easily believe them and go check, showing that you're gullible.

This is a joke. The butt of the joke is anyone gullible enough to believe it.

You are aware, are you not, that there is no such thing as "the dictionary"? There are lots of different dictionaries and "gullible" is in any of them that are any good, because it has been internationally recognized as a word for about two hundred years. Your problem is that you looked it up in a crappy dictionary. Get a better one.

And, of course, if you accept the premise of the question then you are gullible!

Brassmaster edit here: I know it is a joke. I just think it is funny for those who actually look to see if it is there, because it is :]
