I know 5 of the boy words and 12 of the girl words. I wonder how trans and gay people score!

Words men know but women don't and vice versa. As a man I have to say... are those real words women know? I don't know a single one. I do know quite a few of the male words, but not all. link.springer.com/article/10.375

All the male words, about 10 of the female words. This is fun, thanks for sharing.

I think this is a trick. The girl words are made up and not real, right?

I know all of the boy ones, but only two of the girl ones. (doula and verbena) Men are such dorks. :) They are all video game, physics, and ninja words. There’s a whole education I need from some kind woman.

There are a few more on the female side that I've heard before but didn't count bc I don't remember what they mean

Oh no. I know all of the left and 2 of the right. I am (almost) the perfect stereotype

I know all of the boy words and all but four of the girl ones (and vaguely recognize those last ones, but I’m a little less solid on some of the girl words I do know). Am transfem and read the dictionary as a kid.

These seem largely socially driven, with the men's side being mostly science with some military stuff mixed in, and the women's side being mostly types of fabric. So I would think for any person, it would depend mostly on what social circles they spend the most time in.

Knew all the male ones. I knew two of the female ones "exactly", and recognized a few of the others as having something to do with fashion/textiles, but couldn't define them exactly.
