Default Reducing a List by Eliminating Entries from Another List

Hi,

I have several massive lists that I need some excel kung fu help with. Best
way to explain the challenge is with an example. I have lists A & B and want
to make list C as follows:

list A - dog, cat, ball, orange, cloud, peppers
list B - hockey, beer, smart, rain, ball, ocean

list C needs to be list B with any entries that are also in list A removed,
in this case "ball" needs to be removed, so list C becomes

list C - hockey, beer, smart, rain, ocean

comprende'? can anyone PLEASE HELP with this?

Thanks!

p.s. these lists are 5 to 10k worth of entries long in columns
