I know the feeling, perhaps we should call it being "parental guidancely challenged"? - we can't say "educationally challenged" because that is what used to be called "thick"!

Anyone from Central America, South America, or the Carribean = Hispanic

dishonese = ethically disoriented
gay = different
wrong = differently logical
dead = living impaired
pregnant = parasitically opressed
fired = laid off

Hey boys, we are supposed to be being politically correct here. I love Garinda dearly, and wouldn't agree with Chav's definition, but to be politically correct it should surely be:

A feeling of severe discomfort in the lower abdominal area

defendent = a chav in a court room

Re: Let's get it right!
 
Apparently "dinner ladies" is sexist and derogatory. They will in future be known as "Catering Solution Co-ordinators".

Also, to avoid sexist stereotyping, the word "man" will be replaced in all cases by the word "person", e.g. personhole cover, persondate, personagement, Personchester United, Personcunian.

Also, to avoid any insulting reference to our fellow creatures of the porcine variety, the word "ham" will be substituted by "creature of the porcine variety. This may cause problems for David Beckcreatureoftheporcinevariety, but just thing what it will do to those smug b****rs in what used to be Cheltenham!

I hope that is quite clear.

And to think that all this time I've regarded ham as "a delectable smoked viand of a non-Kosher variety" or "a member of the theatrical profession given to excessively histrionic activity!"

I would agree in the main, but are you sure about the discomfort bit?
