Re: Political Correctness

Yes Cashy, you are right.
I think Dorothy’s intention was to get other posters to respond with the PC terms that they find most irritating...rather than the fact that we all know it is a ploy to dumb down people into accepting a homogenised life....sanitised of all that makes it interesting.
Trying to promote an idea that we are all equal...when life makes it very clear that there is no equality...no matter what words you use to try to manipulate ideas.

All of those on your list Dorothy are pet hates....but the one which really grinds my gears is the Americanism ‘Happy holidays’ instead of Merry Christmas.....and another is the term councils use instead of Merry Christmas ‘Winterval’.....what does that mean in reality?
Zero, zilch nada.

Dorothy I hope more people respond to your thread with their own views of the PC terminology which blights our lives.

Thank goodness I am at the fag end of existence!
