  Sexist? What's wrong with being sexist? unknown

  Given the negative view typically associated with the word, I tend not to use it so casually. When I painted Roman the color of the sky, it made him blue, probably because he's racist. unknown

  tulip mania At the peak of tulip mania in February 1637, tulip contracts sold for more than 10 times the annual income of a skilled craftsman. In early February, as contract prices reached a peak, Dutch authorities stepped in and halted the trading of these contracts. The mania finally ended, Mackay says, with individuals stuck with the bulbs they held at the end of the crash—no court would enforce payment of a contract, since judges regarded the debts as contracted through gambling, and thus not enforceable by law. unknown

  TAOD meant that women were discriminated against because they couldn't use the Dr. title, but their husbands could. Has nothing to with whether or not Dr. is superior (though it can have that connotation). So I did mean sexist. unknown

  I've read the whole damn dictionary, turns out the zebra did it. unknown

  Merel: I have tulips poking up in one of my planters! I ended up planting all of the bulbs in pots. Some I put in the garage and some I've left in the dining room -- which I'm not heating this winter. The ones poking up are in the dining room. unknown

  Perhaps I should have said, "Sexist would imply for most people that being a Dr. somehow makes you superior. The word you are looking for is stereotypical, because it's clearer what you mean. No?" Or maybe Taod just meant that Dr.s are superior. Who knows? unknown

  No, they show the same thing. You've skipped the definition that didn't agree with you, and selected "related words". That is by no stretch of the imagination "defines as male chauvinist". I did test the thesaurus there, and the lack of non-prejudice synonyms would lend support for your statement related to the noun form, but as I stated, the definition does not, especially since the word was used as an adjective. You're right about the teacher. Maybe that was so. The usage is an aside though. Your definition is correct and is probably more commonly used, though it remains incorrect to claim the alternative usage is incorrect. That aside, I've learned that the word sexist is not in many dictionaries. Now then, isn't it sexist to claim male chauvinist is the definition of sexist? unknown
