Words which don't work with gender changes..

Some words you just can't change to accomodate another gender, either woman-to-man or man-to-woman.

As an initial example I submit "layman". I contend that "laywoman" would introduce an extra unwanted connotation.

If Chuck Norris wore Crocs with socks, would there be a problem?
