- brimble 5y agoYeah, it's very nearly all fabric or textile-related from what I can tell. Bet you could make the same list by picking any two sex-skewed hobbies and charting words that see little use outside those interests.
- WesternWind 5y agoA bunch but not all, Picking out a few I recognized (though I had to double check freesia). A doula is basically a birthing coach often used for at home pregnancies, a pessary is a vaginal medical device, kohl is eye makeup, verbena is an herb, freesia is a flower, chigon is a type of hair bun.

- WesternWind 5y agoDoulas may or may not have midwife training, they aren't the same thing https://thewell.northwell.edu/pregnancy/doula-vs-midwife https://thewell.northwell.edu/pregnancy/doula-vs-midwife
- wrycoder 5y agoThank you, that’s an excellent article!
- wruza 5y agoI recognized it because I once destroyed a couch fabric in a rented apartment and had to choose a replacement. It’s as bad as choosing js framework, but you’re not a tech guy on top of that.
