Hi Peter-san,
Some of them are quite unusual indeed. I recently searched for manageress because I found it in a J>E translation and didn't believe it existed.
That aside, a funny one: write the word "failure" in Google and see what sites you get listed.

The "failure" in Google wasn't the first, but instead was done in response to when people set up "miserable failure" so that it came up with a humurous result.
