The modern term you are trying to apply is based upon a terminology that was intended to degrade women and evolved to mean anything is a unholy screw up. Not the best term to use depending on your views of the subjection of women.


Yeah, well, the rest of us learned the origins of that word in junior high. Good to see that you've caught up. Words evolve and take on new meanings over time. As Keta detailed, there are many meanings to that word and you should be able to figure it out based on context/usage. If not, well...
