Esoteric related searches? Doesn't work.

I just searched the word "disadvantageous" on dictionary.com and in the related searches column on the left, "asexual reproduction," "the yolk sac of humans," and "Which of the following contributes to placenta?" were listed. Am I missing an alternate meaning of disadvantageous?

Speaking of SAT words, my new favorite is "esoteric." It means "understood by or meant for only the select few who have special knowledge or interest." The related searches for that make sense. Esoteric judaism, esoteric symbols, esoteric texts....

Love,
Juilana

  1. Or esoteric programming languages like Chef (http://www.dangermouse.net/esoteric/chef.html), where all programs are written like a cookbook recipe!
