Highly unlikely. The judge would instruct them that they should give words their ordinary meaning, but would not let them look that meaning up in the dictionary.
It's a strange system, sometimes. But the best one going. People don't always use words according to their strict dictionary definitions when speaking, and dictionaries can create more confusion than they resolve because words can have so many different meaning.
