I think you&#x27;ll only find that in personality types that most of society probably isn&#x27;t too fond of. That&#x27;s not a gender thing, that&#x27;s just a pretentious, insular, obnoxious personality.<p>And frankly, I don&#x27;t think that&#x27;s very common in professional settings. A basic rule of polite conduct is respecting other people&#x27;s interests and beliefs.<p>That said, I myself do sometimes say &quot;sports ball&quot; because I think it&#x27;s a humorous way to address a topic I know absolutely nothing about.
