Sorry, I don't want to misunderstand you: you're saying that the words better known by women are all phony, archaic, or marketing buzzwords; and the words identified by men are, contrariwise, all "real"? And they are phony or archaic because you, the smart one with a 75k vocabulary, don't personally know them? I can't believe someone could be so out of touch.

Just as one counter example, "bushido" is totally archaic, has been irrelevant for 150 years since the Meiji restoration.




"Bushido" isn't archaic because it's used as a cultural-philosophical McGuffin theme in mainstream, modern ('00-present) movies.

"Carl" and "fie" are archaic.

I miswrote. Allow me to nail myself to the cross next to Whoopi. :)
