How to determine if a wordList contains one of the substrings of a phrase in Java

I have a List stopWord(each string is only one word) and I have a string phrases(at least 2 words). I want to check if my phrases includes one of the stopWord's element in Java. How can I do that?

if(!stopWord.contains(phrase.toLowerCase())
String delims = "[ ,-.…•“”‘’:;!()/?\"]+";

I used this code but I think it doesn't understand String with 2 words which is my phrase. stopWord's each element is single word. I didn't split my phrase. Cuz I'm dealing with large amount of data. Is there a simplier way?

    String[] words = phrase.split(" ");
    for (String word : words)
    {
        if (stopWord.contains(word))
        {
            // do here whatever you need :)
        }
    }

If you're using Java 8:

String phrase = "your phrase";
if (stopWord.parallelStream().anyMatch(s -> phrase.contains(s)))
{
    // do stuff here
}
