@hbdchick what the hell, chick!? WTF is a freesia!? Your sex is just making words up now to score higher on verbal!
King of Battle 💪💪💪 on this note, if I could magically change language however I wanted, I'd make "gun" mean only "artillery piece" again. It's so clumsy-sounding that it refers to all firearms today.
Holy moly. The only one I know on the right is “taffeta” lol

I know every single male word. Most of the female words are type of frilly fabric, and makeups. For instance I know what "kohl" is because bacha bazi boys always wore it.

>88% of men know the word shemale vs 54% of women
I refuse to believe that the words in the right column are real - they must have been made up!
Funny stuff! I know most of those on the left, and nearly none of those on the right. Sex difference in vocab is huge, a pitfall for vocab tests. In my research, tests had biased items, since they were random and counterbalanced in direction, this didn't a

The words on the left are well known by Americans but NOT by UKers. The words on the right are well known by UKers but not Americans. I knew all but one word on the left, and none on the right. https://t.co/pCegq6E8RI
@RosiannaRojas my brit hub read from this to me last night and we found more words that even after over seventeen-years together we still didn't realize the other didn't know at all. https://t.co/zjppZmdM89

An interesting list – the British ones are everyday words but the US list is largely a mystery to me. Also interesting that so many of the US words appear to be some kind of medication.
