[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did a swing of SE…highlight was College of Charleston.  Tour was excellent - premed student very impressive.  Campus is gorgeous.  Got weepy as he described matriculation/graduation ceremonies. Spoke with several co-eds- all were super nice and straight out of Abercrombie catalogue.  All in all an excellent deal for South Carolina residents - not sure price is worth it if OOS.  [/quote]
Let’s not call female students co-ed’s, mmkay? It’s not the 1950s. [/quote]

You might be the one behind the times Good Ma’am

You linked to something saying that the use of coed as a noun is old fashioned.  Is that what you meant to say?[/quote]

You are being too DCUM - term can be used for male OR female students. Definition 3 (and latest)[/quote]
That’s the definition of its use as an adjective describing something that pertains to or is used by both men and women, as in “a coed school”. That use is fine. Its use as a noun to mean a female student is old-fashioned and somewhat insulting. It comes from when all-male schools first admitted women, who were often looked down on and dismissed. *Especially* using it in combination with only praising them for looking like models, and the poster who used it sounds like a sexist bigoted grandfather.

NP here. Wow, don't you sound like a charming person. 🙄🤮 Get over your self-righteous and overly-woke self, Karen. Don't you know woke is now considered passé. [/quote]
The ability to read a dictionary is now considered woke? Fascinating. [/quote]
