Option 1

 * Bedroom
 * Article Evaluation
 * Not bad! An easy topic to write about. They mention the "master's bedroom" being the biggest and main bedroom in the house. I think adding some of the history behind the "master's bedroom" like when it was first used and how it dates back to slavery would be a wise choice. Also how many cities and even countries are dropping the term.

Option 2

 * Uppity
 * Article Evaluation
 * There is actually nothing at all written for the word "uppity" despite it's racist history. It was a term used by white people to describe black individuals who they thought needed to be more submissive during the Jim Crow era. The term was usually followed by a specific racial slur. It is still an insult to African Americans to be called this today. It basically means they have a sense of propriety that they shouldn't. Many conservatives used this term against Barack and Michelle Obama while they served as President and First Lady.

Option 3

 * Nitty-gritty
 * Article Evaluation
 * Once again, there is no article covering the expression "Nitty-Gritty." It was originally used to talk about the bottom parts of a ship that was used to move enslaved people overseas. People use it now to describe something that is realistic or raw. The television company Sky Sports recently banned it's commentators from using the word.

Option 4

 * Effeminacy
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article needs a lot of help. Even Wikipedia thinks so. Apparently it contains an original search, as well as weasel words. There is a lot more information that should be added, and the information that is there is highly disorganized.

Option 5

 * Fishwife
 * Article Evaluation
 * This article mainly talks about what a fishwife is and the history of them. It fails to mention how the term can be used derogatorily towards woman to imply that they are abusive of vulgar, or that their hygiene is bad.
