It would be easy to create a column template that checked if 2 (or N) other columns contain any words in common. Use the list_intersection function if either column is multi-value or the strcmp function if both columns are single-value. However, I suspect that satisfying the real requirement would require some level of fuzziness, and this would be much harder.
