The Weekend Question (TWQ) this week at that awful modern creation; Political Correctness.
Can you name, or make up some politically correct phrases and explain what they are supposed to refer to?
Here are a few by me:
Children's Festival Representative: Santa Claus
Anti-Sobriety Activist: Alcoholic
Permantantly Static Post-Human Mass: Corpse
Client of the Correctional System: Prisoner
Melodramatically Fixated: Hooked on Soap Operas
Now it's over to you...
--------------------------
Check the details below for the Enterprise Christmas Party. Remember that you have until the 30th November to send your entries in!
ooh! More things for me to do! Good thing I'm feeling a bit better today!

I'm not really good at this, at all! I could always write one that I heard elsewhere, but that would be cheating!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm here from Michel's M&G this morning and now..., I'm going to Zzzzzzzzzzzzzland!
A few for your collection:
ReplyDeleteLazy = "energetically dormant"*
Snoozing = "rationing consciousness"
Late = "time challenged"
Shy = "conversationally selective"?Dumped = "seeking new friendships"
'the dog ate the work' = "suffering an out of notebook experience"
Messy bedroom = "Passage restrictive (toxic) environment"
By the way, there's a UK site about the over use of PC-ness, such as having signs which say 'ability impaired' as if this was better than using words like 'deaf'. Planet Earth needs to be careful to not over-compensate.
And drive safely now that the Children's Festival representative and his vertically reduced friends are starting to fly around the universe.
