I wish that "small" LLMs would stop being confidently very incorrect. Admittedly this is a bit of an intentionally esoteric test, but the confident way in which it presents a totally incorrect answer is a bit concerning.

"please write 250 words on the etymology and history of the word schlong"

The actual origin of the word is from middle high German and Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi Jewish communities.

For comparison qwen 3.6 35B A3B does perfect on this and will give a solid description of the word's real origins and how it has made it into casual profanity/vulgarity as used in US English, and even mentions specific stand-up comedians and famous public figures of specific ethnic/religious origin in the US NE who introduced it into wider use.

Ask it for something that's not a narrow niche scientific or technical field, but something that would be less common to make it into a 20B size model, and see just how it does.
