PC becomes curiouser and curiouser .



 "We're also banning 'wiggling', 'jiggling', and 'wriggling', just to be on the safe side".

Cartoon by Paul Thomas, The Daily Mail.

No kidding!

Apparently so! I now just sit and wait for the next crazy pronouncement.

Bovey Belle said...

I ran out of patience with the PC crew long ago - this is just blardy ridiculous! No sniggering now!!

Cro Magnon said...

There's crazy and crazy; this is CRAZY!

Could be worse. They could have started with Banking, Thanking, Ranking and .........

Cro Magnon said...

Just be grateful you're not called Nigel; all Nigels will soon have to call themselves Kevin.

Diggle is a place near Oldham. It's a suggestive name and ought to be changed to something like Chastity.

Cro Magnon said...

Or to Piddle, as in the Dorset river.

Did I miss something?

Likewise...I have no idea what any of these are!

It's as clear as day follows nig--- the hours between sunset and sunrise.

Honestly - you don't know whether to laugh or cry these days!

Cro Magnon said...

As far as I understand, Ms Wintour of Vogue magazine has banned the word 'Niggling', which she seems to find racist (goodness knows why). The above is simply a cartoon celebrating her lunacy.

Cro, as long as you read more papers than the Daily Mail you shall remain on the straight and narrow, and I shall forgive you.

To add to many an example, I am most disenchanted that, in these times of equal rights, actresses are now actors. What is politically correct when the (hu)MAN rules as woman's job description? Give it time and children won't know what to call the female part of their parents!

Call me Mister,
U

Be careful... darkness and light are filled with connotations.

Cro Magnon said...

A combination of both helps!

Cro Magnon said...

I believe it was Newcastle University who said recently that we should no longer refer to 'Mothers and Fathers', but to 'Guardians'. Nothing is sacred.

Sue said...

I think I might be getting Tourettes - I keep wanting to blurt out all these forbidden words!

Cro Magnon said...

I think that's half the trouble with their mission; we all want to show how much we disapprove!

Cathy said...

👍

You're being enigmatic.
