Not long ago, onan arrest report that was being filed out, there is a block for "occupation". The person in question was well known, so "Drug Dealer" was put in the block. A week later, it was kicked back from a supervisor for not being politically correct. A little white out was used, and it was returned with the occupation being listed as "Street Pharmacist". The report hasn't been seen since.

 

Street Pharmacist

 

A little twist of words is all it takes. I just heard a commercial, and what used to be called "Food Stamps", is now called "Nutrition Assistance"

 

Everybody/everything has to have a title. The things were called foodstamps for 40 years, is that not politically correct enough. Next thing you know we will be calling kleenex mucous blankets. Geez

 

I also do a good borat voice on the side (VERY NICE, I LIKE)

 

In the military (particulary on USAF bases) they don't call them barracks anymore, they are know "bachelor's quaters" and "bachelorette quaters"

The Mess Hall is now called a "Dinning Facility". Mess Hall offended the cooks, apparently they haven't eaten there

 

There isn't a secretary in any of our offices, they are all Administrative Assistants, our housekeeping company supervisor has a card that says Sanitation Engineer...have to be a hundred more examples...lets hear them.

 

Maybe we should start another thread for this. I think we are hijacking this one. Sorry[sm=oopssign.gif]

Probably should be in Off Topic also.

 

Might be an interesting thread. Hijacking is such a harsh word and we are still talking about a related topic....I'm rationalizing here aren't I?

 

I heard a contractor refer to his laborers who do manual and hand digging ashis personalexcavation specialist. Go figure, even the low wage earners and hard laborers have a glorified title. I am shure he sleeps better at night by giving him a better title andI am sure the laborer, enjoys his job more with a nice shiny title.
