It must depend on how you say it. Yesssss my preciousssss, it isssss how we says it. 
You can use its English name and ask for Cambridge Burnt Cream since Cambridge University lays claim to the invention of this dessert.
Real men should probably avoid any word which comes from French and still sounds French.
Or just drop the attribution and call it “Burnt Cream.”
It just sounds manly:
Monosyllabic. Destructive. Violent. Bitter. And remotely sexual.
Husband calls 'em hoodies and he can kick your ass
Another word *real manly men * can’t use is “huggles”. Granted it’s used mostly online but still that’s no excuse. I’ve talked to guys who seemed rather convincingly manly men right up to the point that they use the word “huggles”, then I start to wonder if they are really a 12 year old girl. Heck, I’m a woman and I wouldn’t use the word “huggles” … unless I was really drunk… and I was talking to my cat.
I suspect that manly men who are fathers can’t even go to the store and ask for “Huggies” diapers.
Dip - Manly
Vegetable platter - Sensitive guy talk
Crudites - Girly (Classically trained chefs excepted)
Thus the fast food marketing for the cruh-Saunt and the cruh-Sandwich, I suppose:)
Shampoo I’ve always hated that word. Yet I cant think of an alternative.
“I’m goin to the store to get shampoo-poo” ahhg.

Why do we always get shampoo? Why can’t we have realpoo?
[/Hawkeye]
Hairsoap anyone?

Anybody ever refers to a “puter” in my presence, I’ll tell 'em to be careful, that’s how Johnny Tremaine fucked his hand up.
Maybe I’m just tired, but being the owner of one of those names, I wanted to clarify what you meant? It better not be anything bad
A real man is not afraid to say he knows how to make quiche. And if you don’t like it, I know martial arts.
I see a lot of errors here.
To name a few:
Hoodie in ONLY acceptable when used in conjuction with the Manly term Woodie, eg, "Is that a hoodie or a woodie?
Real Men don’t waste time over the periods that women use in eg.
Shorts is the preferred Manly term for our underwear.
Anorak is perfectly acceptanle as it sounds high-tech. It actually gets bonus points because even guys who know what it is aren’t really sure of it.
Real Men dor’t put up cutains or drapes, they hang them. Real men also never drape anything, though they may do stuff with drapes.
Fuck yeah, Vance, I’m gettin’ a woodie over that hoodie."
Real men don’t pwn anything that even a woman would describe as dainty
For the purposes of this discussion, you have received special dispensation - as long as you do not host a program on HGTV.
I just checked with Flex, and he said, quote, “See those curtains? They used to be on the floor. I put them up on the wall, with a pneumatic drill. Now excuse me, I gotta go build a skyscraper.”
The word “cute” should be used sparingly. If your at a family reunion sitting with your grandma and great aunt, you can call something cute, but if you are up in the deep woods hunting with the guys, I recommend you find a better adjective to describe what you are talking about.
Also, “sweet” should be used only by gen-X’s or younger to describe something that my older generation would say is “awesome”. The kids at work would proclaim something as “sweet” and it would invariably make the hair on the back of my neck stick straight up.
I was doing a websearch the other day and a woman referred to doing the “BD.” Not being mature enough to talk about sex in public, she was referring to the “baby dance” – but I guess even that was too much so it had to be “BD”.
At any rate, put both on the list.

Except if you’re talking about applique armor on tanks or other armored fighting vehicles. There aren’t much more manly things than tanks, after all!
Call 'em stick ons, stick ems, or decals. If you use the fancy word “applique”, they cost more. Anorak just sounds strange. Anorak the Barbarian. heh heh. On the other hand, I may be in deep trouble. I’ve been calling my computer the Frankenputer for years. I hope the “Franken” part saves me. Yeah. Rewired it. More power. Grunt grunt grunt.
