WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE [I.E. FUNNIEST] POLITICALLY CORRECT TERM?


[+] serious ballot by Neal_Anderthal
created Sat Nov 13, 04

Besides Ebonics [see ballot #58337] and Dan Quayle quotes [god, I miss that guy!] another thing that always makes me laugh is politically correct terms. These used to be known as "euphemisms": an attempt to avoid calling a given thing what everybody knows perfectly well it is. I've got my favorites; what are some of yours?

Ugly: Aesthetically challenged.
Criminal: ethically challenged
Women: Vagino-Americans
Short: vertically challenged
Homeless: outdoorsman. Oops, sorry, outdoorsperson
Fat: Portly challenged?
Perverted: Sexually liberated.
black criminal :victim of institutionalised racism
F***ing A$$hole - vaginally challenged penetration
racist - melanin conservative
White male: evil racist sexist Nazi genocidal pig
Rape: Seduction Without Salesmanship
Pimp: Hooker Booker
Fat - Gravitationally Challenged
Retarded: The Differently Delightful To Be Around
Black: Melanin-blessed
Dead: Oxygen impaired
Stupid: Intellectually challenged
Ugly: Exotic
Fat, Ugly Person: He/She's Really Nice!
stinky: au natural odorous defense mechanism
incestuous: very close family
potty-mouth: advocate of freedom of speech
Homeless: Residentially Challenged

COMMENTS:
Now here's a PC term that's no joke: for deaf, "having a legacy of silence".
I am NOT making this one up. I only wish I were.

I like it when they use 'african american' to describe blacks in other countries.

And the flip side: How about when a blonde, blue-eyed white-skinned Algerian becomes a U.S. citizen? Since he's literally both an African and an American, will he be called an "African American"? What? He won't? Gee, I wonder why not...

Mojo I beg to differ with your assesment of "ugly:exotic". I have great apprciate for exotic beauty. However I have seen great examples of ugly wonderbread as well as not so beautiful exotic.
