Snowperson

I never thought I’d start a thread like this, yet here I am

Just heard the presenter on Nova refer to a Snowman as a Snowperson and Snowpeople

Apparently after googling it’s been politically incorrect to call it a snowman for a very long time

where is the reset button?

Stick another carrot just below the waist and then tell people to STFU

Why does it bother you? No one is forcing you to say it.

My whole life myself and the whole world has been calling it a snowman. Now apparently that’s not correct, and you’re wondering why this bothers me? It’s a thread on AH. It’s a conversation starter

Nobody is forcing you to reply, yet you did

Q.What gender is a melting snow man?

How can you tell if it's a snow man or snow woman?
Snowballs!

Make a complaint to the ombudsperson...

They're just as bad assuming that it wants to be called a snowperson. Maybe they prefer to be called snowmen but no one thought to ask them.

Amen to that.

Another thread where people get outraged about people getting outraged.

People that build snowmen are racist anyway. They only build white snowmen!

Never heard snowperson till now. So now I've 2 words for the same thing, whats the problem? .
Most Irish people wouldn't have a clue what your on about, if talked to them about pc.
Can you describe a scenario where this becomes a problem? you being so weak as to feel pressure to conform to this is not a problem.

ALways gets me when I hear a yellow weather alert for snow

The only difference in a snowman and a snow person is snowballs.

It's a snowman, if you happen to make a snowwoman then it's a snowwoman.

Anyone that says snowperson is a gimp.

I know you're going to struggle on and fight through this.
I hear PC mentioned every now and again lately and I'm failing to see where the problem is. Your opening post certainly sounds like you are feeling some pressure to conform.

While we're on the topic, what about Mother Nature?

No one said you can't say it nor did they say it was incorrect. Others choose not to say it. What's the issue?

What???
Seeing as you started the thread, do you mind answering a few of my questions above.
I'm just trying to get my head around the problem.

and yes there seem to be some sort of problem, I see posters having a winge every now and again about this.
I'm not sure,but it seems to be connected to this extremely weird(for Ireland) left wing / right wing thing you see online over the last few years.

The idiot that initially proposed that needs a damn good kicking.

However realistically no one actually gives a crap about **** like this and these ‘issues’ are dreamt up by idiots employed in state run concern/liberty groups who have to justify their existence and salaries and so they scour the media for something to complain about. Real people who live in the real world don’t actually care.

The media should challenge these stupid notions more but I guess the media also thrive on the reaction to their playing ball with whacko civil liberties and PC groups.

I say carry on as before.

What’s the issue?
It’s called a snowman :-)
The issue is that people that call it a “snowperson” are making a conscious decision to avoid calling it a snowman, as if they are dodging some PC bullet

The presenter was talking to a child.
He asked the child did he build a snowperson, and then referred to them as snowpeople

I was surprised that someone was trying to obviously choose their words so carefully when referring to a lump of snow which has culturally been referred to a snowman for as long as I can remember

People are free to call snow whatever they like
And we are all free to raise an eyebrow and start a thread in AH :-)

At least this time we find some use for snowflakes,make snow men from them.

Next we'll all be racists too as the snowmen are all white and there's no ethnic diversity among them.

What about man-made structures? Postman? Milkman? Breadman? Bin man? Coal man? Are these aresholës going to thrown wobblers over those terms too?

If it's a snow woman then they look like they're pregnant.

I would just like to take this opportunity to announce that I now identify as an attack helicopter.

A model fluid one btw.

So today I woke up identifying as a Bell AH-1 Cobra. Yesterday it was as a Mil Mi-24. Tomorrow? Who knows? Perhaps as a Aspatiale Gazelle?

So if you disagree with this, or have an issue with it, then you are obviously Heliphobic and are worse than Hitler.

Well if she is pregnant its the zip ups its very difficult to get the buttons closed over the bump.

This kind of snow-signalling isn't a regular enough occurence to stick.

I saw the title of the thread and my first thought was that that's just plain wrong.

After reading the op , it's still wrong.

I'm getting my snow shovel out.
