Default Comparing text in columns

I think I may be asking alot here, but here it goes. I need a formula
that will return 'true' if ANY of the words in one column are in the
second column. I plan on using this 'true' value in an 'if' function.

For example (the formula would be in column C):

Column A Column B Column C
Wile E. Coyote coyote true
Wile E. Coyote Wile true

I hope my example is clear. Can someone provide some guidance?

TIA
