There are some words out there with certain connotations that they become awkward to use in certain sentences. For instance, I'm complete comfortable with saying "He's gorgeous!" But apparently, that makes me sound like I'm describing a baby and not a hunk-a-chunk of a man. On the other hand, calling a girl "handsome" is considered awkward because it's so widely used to describe males.

Name some others and discuss words like "gorgeous", won't you? tongue.gif
