ken

ken \KEN\, noun:
1. Perception; understanding; knowledge.
2. The range of vision.
3. View; sight.


This is a word I've never heard a single person use outside of some Scot on TV or in a book. If asked for a definition, most Americans would initially think of the doll.

OTOH, most Aussies would think of an outdoor cooking device if Ken's g/f was mentioned.

(I hope you can ken that last without a link)
