Some years ago I spent a few months in Brazil. My Portuguese was barely conversational, so I had to pay very close attention to vocabulary and usage to understand anything. I noticed that women had a distinctly different vocabulary from men. For example, men had one word for dog and women had an entirely different one, not just the "dog", "doggie" distinction. Talk only to women and you end up talking like a girl, :-)
