We are no longer allowed to say: "Political correctness gone mad".

The acceptable version is: "Political correctness gone mentally challenged".

Please ensure that you comply with this directive immediately.

summat like that pendy,its my upbringing

pendy · 06-04-2005, 12:30

I know the feeling, perhaps we should call it being "parental guidancely challenged"? - we can't say "educationally challenged" because that is what used to be called "thick"!

OMG, I'm at least six of them, maybe seven. l'll ask my Mum if we have had any Native American in us.

pain in the ass = garinda

although that could have a double meaning

pendy · 06-04-2005, 16:41

Hey boys, we are supposed to be being politically correct here. I love Garinda dearly, and wouldn't agree with Chav's definition, but to be politically correct it should surely be:

A feeling of severe discomfort in the lower abdominal area

chav1 · 06-04-2005, 16:51

defendent = a chav in a court room

pendy · 06-04-2005, 16:59

Apparently "dinner ladies" is sexist and derogatory. They will in future be known as "Catering Solution Co-ordinators".

Also, to avoid sexist stereotyping, the word "man" will be replaced in all cases by the word "person", e.g. personhole cover, persondate, personagement, Personchester United, Personcunian.

Also, to avoid any insulting reference to our fellow creatures of the porcine variety, the word "ham" will be substituted by "creature of the porcine variety. This may cause problems for David Beckcreatureoftheporcinevariety, but just thing what it will do to those smug b****rs in what used to be Cheltenham!

I hope that is quite clear.

Billcat · 19-04-2005, 14:24

And to think that all this time I've regarded ham as "a delectable smoked viand of a non-Kosher variety" or "a member of the theatrical profession given to excessively histrionic activity!"
