Political correctness gone mad

[derek kelly]

Other words in the "political correctness" spotlight recently include (from "The Sun"):
"Good egg": banned because of a possible connection to the rhyming slang, "egg and spoon".
"Homosexual": banned by Scotland Yard because it reportedly portrays gay men as criminals.
"History": banned at Stockport College because the first syllable, "his", is sexist.
"Hard-working": removed from an employment advertisement because it might offend the disabled.
"Gobbledygook": banned in several UK firms as sexual harassment because of its sound.

"Hard-working": removed from an employment advertisement because it might offend the disabled.

And also, presumably, all those people unable to maintain an erection whilst at work?

I aint allowed at my work to say

ladyparts, borrox, died yank, feckin christain, speak proper english, fook/feck/fuck off, useless waste of feckin space, stop wasting air, arsehole, bible basher, believer of fairytales, cocksucker, or anything like that because i had complaints made about me.


but the complainer is allowed to saying frickin,friggin,fanny, damm etc cause they aint swearing where he comes from.

and for some strange reason he likes to wearing speedo type underpants with tight, across the arse, fitting trousers complete with the biggest VPL ever cause some other total waste of feckin space said that he had a nice arse. also wears brown hush puppies with white sports socks.

Andy, get him into a conversation about Jehovah's Witness & just when he thinks you are interested put this to him: 'Don't you think it's a misrepresentation being called a Jehovah's witness as you have never actually witnessed anything as the guy allegedly hasn't walked the earth for over 2000 years, as a witness I think any half decent lawyer would laugh you out of court' I've never known one have an answer they usually mutter something under their breath & walk away.
