Detailed description
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
At an international table like #285987424 we had the word 'Cornhole'. Some of us didn't know what it was, including the person that had to guess.
I would suggest to have as a game option what vocabulary level to use: "All words" / "Remove exotic words" (or something in that line) to avoid examples like the above.
If all players are native to the language of the game, it may be fine. But if it's a mix of players with different levels of knowledge of the language used in the game, it can be frustrating.• Please explain what you wanted to do, what you did and what happened

Each word (for each language) could have a tag, for example. A 0 if it can be used in any game, a 1 if it can be used only if players select the "All words" option at game setup.
The implementation of the following bug could also help (being able to remove a word if the players agree to it, although it's targeted at repeated words): boardgamearena.com/bug?id=68193
