- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoYes. I got in trouble in a place well-known for highly literate participants when I correctly used the phrase "putative woman" to describe someone in the news. In fact, one them went as far to posit that since I knew Spanish, I should be well-aware of the derogatory nature of that adjective in English usage! I was rather shocked at the unironic chastisement I received at that time!
