Don’t Even Think It
This just in from academia, more words you mustn’t use:
The words “angry,” “passive” and “exotic” are also strongly discouraged and will no doubt be tutted at. Please update your files accordingly.

- You Can't Afford My Radical Life
‘Weak kneed’ smells like an ableist comment to me. People with weak knees are just as worthy of respect as any able-bodied person. Also, I propose condemning to the gulags those who blatantly abuse exclamation points.
The remark about ‘little boy falsetto voices’ is surely a sign of patriarchal oppression. What about those of us with little girl voices?
Großen Gesäß Mädchen machen die Welt sich drehen.
How’s that banned word list workin’ out for ya?
Well, I hope they don’t outlaw “dipshit,” because then I won’t be able to calls ’em like I sees ’em.
This is where German wins over English – there’s always another way to express exactly the same concept – so if you ban “illegale Immigranten”, you can always have “gesetzwiedrige Einwänderer”, “Bewilligungslöse Einreiser”, “unberechtigte Aufenthalter” and so , including all permutations of these.
It’s so much less susceptible to Newspeak.
My language, my choice
You can just hear the very reasonable tone of voice, there. What they are of course saying is
Your words, my choice
(Your college, my choice
Your business, my choice
Your shirt, my choice
etcetc)
(I clean up after my tags, me :P)

Anyway, somebody disabled captcha images, so the blame for the double posting lies with them, not me (or am I starting to think like Monbiot?)
The purpose of a shibboleth, since the time of the Gileadites, has been to segregate people into an in-group and an out-group. It’s why Leftists are so hung-up on terminology, and why every time there is a schism in their ranks a whole rash of new jargon and taboos arises.
. . . . and why every time there is a schism in their ranks a whole rash of new jargon and taboos arises.
. . . I can’t quite remember if the original source was Miss Manners, Jilly Cooper, Kate Fox, or someone else, but I’m reminded of the observation to the effect that lowest middle class fanatic attention to particular declarations of etiquette are the way that the newest arrivals hope they can cut off the one’s who follow them . . . .
And, oh, yes, I’ll also chime in with the observation that just pushing a button does have it’s advantages, rather than trying to sort out whether the third random character in )#$*YU_)@#(EU*R is expected to be a D, &, or mebbe a {????
—The pictures of random numerals were nice, but then they’d cycle away, unfortunately . . .
Who on earth is the topless retard tearing up “Retarded.”
Note to self: In case of ban, use “Retread” as an alternative.
And the Warsaw Ghetto was what. An unfortunate place to live?
We should take these people to task and play them at their own game.
Have you ever met a white person? I mean, a genuine WHITE person? I haven’t. White is the colour of snow in neutral light. It’s the colour of bleached paper. It is the absence of any tint whatsoever.
I’m Anglo/Irish/whatever ethnicity but looking at my hand now in the dead of winter I would describe the colour as somewhere around Pantone 91-ish.
Anyone calls me white from here on in I’m going to be deeply insulted.
So, I’m starting a movement: Pantone-ism. Anyone refers to anyone with an incorrect Pantone reference and I’m suing them for the racist pigs they are.
