"'handicapped' Is Outdated And Offensive"

Um... like... excuse me?  Don't you mean,,, like... um.... hetero-normative, challenge-free, European-Americans?

Well, I would have stated it that way, but "European" is such a broad term and I would hate to offend someone from Wales with a term that could imply they are from Ireland.

 I made the mistake of saying, "wow, that's pretty lame" and they jumped on me. Said I was being "insensitive to disabled people". 

 

And yet this same ideology used the word lame with abandon in times past, in their Hollywood movies.  

 

So they have all these words that are off limits, what is the first thing they do in a conversation with us when they cannot get past the facts of whatever it is we're discussing?  hehehe

I was in Wal-Mart in the laundry area and noticed the dyes. Like most everything today it was labeled in English and Spanish. Red/Rojo (check), Green/Verde (check), Orange/Naranja (check) .........  Black/Azabache (whoa, wait a minute!!!).

 

 For those who don't know, azabache is a SHADE not a color. It is not merely black but jet black. The COLOR black (all shades inclusive) is negro --- but someone not knowing (nor caring) might find it offensive. (If they wanted to be offensive they would use mayate, but that's another subject.)

 

So, if you use that dye and your dyed OBject is a matte finish and 3 shades lighter than jet black, can you sue for false advertising?

Don't forget 'wench'. Women don't seem to like being called that these days. Or spinster, or old maid.

 

B*****d doesn't go down well with people who are illegitimate.

 

A few others:

 

Hussy

Mongoloid

Half-caste

Yellow peril

Antipode

However, if you have a plural noun you need a plural adjective (sorry, couldn't contain the grammar Nazi, uh - educational Socialist, uh - linguistic person of political persuasion)
