Re: So I\'m a woman if i order a cosmopolitan?

AS I understand it, the word cosmopolitan originated just after the end of the pelopennesian war. The term was meant to represent the idea that the whole world should come together to bring an end to all war. this was laughed off as a woman's idea, hence the magazine name and the troubling name of an otherwise good drink.
