Not female here either, but:
A neutral and/or a positive word for "smell" that isn't too high-flung (closest
general-purpose one I can think of is "aroma" which is really too much).
A word for the smell of food (like "nidor"...)
A word for the sense of comfort that comes from being at home. (something like
the opposite of homesickness).
Also, first person dual inclusive pronoun ("wit/unk/uncher").
I had a few others in mind but they slipped it.
