Is Tooken A ˜yÐÄvlog?

And is tooken in the dictionary?

Tooken is not listed as a word in this dictionary. It’s not used as the standard past tense of the take, which is took (My mother took my brother to the zoo), or as the participle form of take, which is taken (My mother had not taken my brother to the zoo before yesterday). Some people may use tooken as a nonstandard combination of these forms, perhaps intending to be humorous. 

(General note: Just because a word doesn’t appear in the dictionary doesn’t necessarily mean it’s “not a word.†Some people may use it, and if enough people eventually start using it, it may be added to the dictionary.)
