    Inspired by the Israeli official who was offended by the term "Swine flu".


    A close relatve of mine lives in England, and one day used the term "stick it where the monkey stuck the nuts".
    He was immediately accosted by a black woman, who preceded to berate him for using a racist term.
    He politely listened then walked away without saying anything.


    Any examples the boardsies can think of?

    I think some people only get offended when it suits them.

    A few years ago in school a teacher caught me talking and told me to tell the whole class what I was saying. I told her it was just a stupid joke so then of course she really wanted to embarass me...

    So i said

    "What do scottish sheep say? - McBaaa"

    And she went CRAZY!!! Said I was racist and tried to give me lines!!!!

    Hahahaha I still get a good laugh out of it!

    I'm such a cunning linguist that someone somewhere is always going to be offended by what I say.

    People who get offended when you refer to someone of African extraction as Black.

    Have heard phrases such as "African American" being used to refer to a black person living in Ireland who incidentally was Kenyan and not American. Thought is was ignorantly amusing.

    Pretty much anything.

    Swear words, different viewpoints, boobs, penises, nudity (that one especially bothers me, it's only natural), second hand smoke, meat eaters, vegetarians, conspiracy theories, government, fat people, skinny people.

    People spend too much of their time being offended in this horribly PC culture.

    people have a desire to be offended

    Jonathan Woss and Russell brand, "I shagged your granddaughter" to Fawlty Towers Manuel actor Andrew Sachs.

    His granddaughter was all offended about 'how could they do that to my grandfather'. A week later she was thanking them for all the publicity she got. She sold her story and ruined her relationship with her grandfather

    People that get all offended when you happen to dislike someone of a different ethnic origin.

    I can call him a stupid c*nt if I want. Its not racist if he IS a stupid c*nt. Oooh, racist, racist. F*ck off. Your a stupid c*nt too. Get offended by that.

    That really gets my goat. Stop trying to be so PC. The only way to ensure total political correctness is to insult f*cking everyone!

    People that get offended by things like Christmas/Easter. Oh, we might offend someone of a different belief. Well, you know something? F*ck em! If you were in their neck of the woods, they wouldn't change anything for you. So f*ck off.

    Irish people being offended by English people saying anything negative at all about Ireland - even if it's true.

    "Black" - how come it's ok to use the word "white" so? And how come black people are cool with calling themselves "black"?

    they know they are, its ok if they state it,
