I looked at the manual and I think he's misreading it. The "words" in
question are the tokens in the macro definition.

The example macros look pretty straightforward, instructions and
pseudo-ops that are expanded replacing dummy arguments by actual ones.
There's no conditional assembly so each macro is just a parameterized
chunk of code.
