I thought it would be fun to start a new thread that is just the "politically correct" things. Be they good or bad, tongue-in-cheek, etc. Let's have some fun with it.
Here we go!
People aren't short - they're Vertically Challenged
He's not dead - He's metabolically challenged
I'm not bald - I'm follically challenged
It's not workman's comp any more... it's workERS comp
It's not a mailman or a policeman, it's a mail carrier, postal carrier, postal worker, and police officer... does that also mean those big metal things in my alley are Person-hole covers?
And I can never keep up with the "current" politically correct words for people of african descent... Black, Negro, African-American.... seems no matter which one I pick, I'm wrong... :S I had a black friend who would keep me up to date on that.
I have a friend who isn't blind, he's "visually challenged"... although he refers to folks who CAN see as being impaired with sight..... lol (actually, he'll tell you he's blind).
Speaking of which... it's amazing how stupid people can be sometimes... (I'm sorry... synapse-challenged)... who, upon realizing my friend is blind, will talk louder. Go figure.
I suppose if someone is missing fingers, OR if they're Amish, they'd be considered digitally challenged.
That's enough for now from me.... hehe... but I'd love to hear some others....
Just my 2¢
