This is where the PC brigade get it wrong....they assume a word to have an offensive interpretation when that might not be the case.

I think we have all become a bit too rigid/sensitive about things. We need to take the pole out of our backsides and get on with living our lives......stop trying to read into words things that aren't there...sometimes the pussyfooting around causes just as much anguish as coming out and saying what you really mean about something.
Now, I'll just duck and dodge the red stuff.
No red stuff from me, Margaret!
