In the sense only the academics would know what caulk is, while everyone else just calls it silicone?

@Zecc as you can see above, my second-to-last guess was deliberately wrong to gather more info on letters I haven't used. Otherwise I'd'f failed the same way.

@Gąska said in [B][O][G][G]le:

There is caulk made of not-silicone. Silicone caulk is more expensive and generally can't be painted, unless you spring for the special paintable silicone that's 4x the price of latex caulk.
-
@HardwareGeek wait, are you telling me Americans use something even cheaper than silicone for sealing around the house?
I'm... not surprised in the slightest.

My stepfather builds houses and I've never heard him call it anything other than caulk.

Like @HardwareGeek said, the other caulk (generally called Decorators Caulk or just Caulk here) can be painted over so works well for walls, ceilings etc. Silicone caulk (generally just called Silicone Sealant here) can't be painted over but is waterproof so works well for sealing around baths, toilets etc.
Two different things doing two different jobs.

Isn't it?
I'd expect the average player of cell phone word games on the New York Times' website to be employed as a white collar worker.
I'd expect that 90% of all caulk in the United States to be applied by blue collar workers.

@GuyWhoKilledBear the real question - and one I can’t currently prove - is whether this was in the list of words before it was handed over to the NYT. The list of words is in the source code, it just steps through the list in order. It would be a different argument that a guy (from Brooklyn IIRC) who made a game for his wife vs the NYT making it.
But let me put it this way, I’m not American, I’m certainly not blue-collar, I am as utterly inept with manufacturing and construction as it gets, and yet I solved it on guess 4/6. I blame having watching CSI for a while.
So I’d ask you to forgive me for not knowing whether a given group of people in a different country to mine treats a given word as specialist or norm but I know that empathy and reading comprehension are difficult.

I'm surprised you got CAULK, actually. Don't You People spell it with an extra U?
More to the point though, I was being sarcastic and pretending that "bias in favor of blue collar culture" is a standard definition of "classist." I agree exactly with your criticism of the people who complain about Wordle answers.
Also, let's keep in mind what Wordle is and what it's for. It's an excuse for people to wave their dicks around about how "smart" they are, where "smart" is defined into a very narrow box that's a half a step above trivia?
In a game where the entire point is to post colored boxes on Twitter so you can brag about knowing obscure words, how can any word be too obscure?
I'm not saying I'm better than Wordle players. I play too, for exactly the reason I'm describing.
Anyway, I agree with you and my post wasn't supposed to have been read as an attack. I probably should have phrased it better.
Sorry for the confusion.

I thought we should use polysulfide sealant for baths and toilets though.
Back when I was in Hong Kong, I bought one set for around USD15 to fill all the cracks of tiles in the bathroom. The most convenient property of it is that it can be hardened while still wet or even underwater.
