    I thought I had a great one "yer a dial up"

    But apparently it has been used for at least 10 years already!

    I reckon we'll keep going through cycles of words that are currently PC terms becoming replaced and then being deemed offensive.

    African American
    Black (which is already debatable)
    Disabled
    Traveler
    Little person (which I still can't quite believe is a PC term now!)

    etc.

    Black Americans use black themselves like Whites refer to themselves as white. African American is a too broad a term which doesn't take into account black Americans who's lineage may be not be of direct descent to Africa, Ethiopia via Jamaica for eg.

    African American is such a ridiculous term. It leads to situations where you have Americans describing the likes of Idris Elba and Lewis Hamilton as African American. :rolleyes:

    I actually shouldn't roll my eyes over this because they'll go so far back in my head that they'll never come out again.

    To take the Lord's name in vain is already considered offensive.


    Yep. And, to some cult members, using it at all reason enough to kill ye ~ already.

    some might say they are on fleek

    I genuinely thought they were words from a sci-fi book I'd read, maybe The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and googled them to find out exactly where they came from.

    I'm old, I guess I'm not such a hooby frood anymore :(.

    Niggardly - because most politically correct people don't understand its meaning.
