Are you able to link to or reference the context in which you saw it? - excarnateSojourner (talk|contrib) 22:44, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

it was a comic book I had a long time ago .... a stereotypical "Amazon babe" scenario where a man is shipwrecked and passes out, then wakes up on an island run by and for women. One of the women said, <<He speaks with the outworlder tongue!>> or something similar to that. I've used the word myself in my own private writing but it only occurred to me recently that the definition we give doesnt actually correspond well with what i thought it meant from that one comic. thanks, —Soap— 01:05, 26 October 2021 (UTC)

Found due to better search: here. But the word is outworlder. (The image depicts an all-female troop armed with dangerous weapons but little clothing, threatening to slaughter a man and a woman who washed up on shore.) —Soap— 08:19, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

I will expand this with more context. Im sure that the word is used in fantasy just as much as science fiction, but what Im unsure of is whether the "everyone but us" impression I got from the comic extends to other uses of the word. After all, these same women speak as if there is only one outworlder tongue, so maybe they dont believe male-run societies are the majority after all. —Soap— 08:19, 17 April 2023 (UTC)
