>coeds I wonder when Americans are going to stop using this word. It's one of those ones that reminds you we've come a long way not so long ago and with far still to go.
I always found it a bit offputting, albeit completely appropriate in the above sneer given the sexism that's so rampant in evolutionary psychology.

Oh yeah, 100% a word they'd use. Like, obstinately because they know it irritates low-decouplers like me.
Last I checked, somewhat more women than men are going to college, so shouldn't *male* students be the coeds at this point, if anyone's gonna be?
