Video:Year's Most Politically Correct Phrases Revealed

year's most politically correct phrases revealed

in 2005, some people wanted the word "brainstorming" replaced by "thought shower" so as not to offend people with brain disorders, and they also wanted "deferred success" to replace "failure" so as not to embarrass those who don't succeed.

both phrases appear on a tongue-in-cheek list released on thursday of the year's most politically correct words and phrases issued by global language monitor, a nonprofit group that monitors language use.

the phrase that topped this year's list was "misguided criminals," one of several terms the british broadcasting corporation used so as not to use the word "terrorist" in describing those who carried out train and bus bombings in london that killed 52 people in july, according to paul jj payack, the head of global language monitor.

he added, "the bbc attempts to strip away all emotion by using what it considers 'neutral' descriptions when describing those who carried out the bombings in the london tubes."

second on the list was "intrinsic aptitude," a phrase used by harvard university president lawrence summers to explain why women might be underrepresented in engineering and science. the phrase met with "deferred success" and summers had to fight to keep to his job.

"thought shower" was third and a french word for riff-raff or scum, "la racaille," was fourth thanks to being used by french interior minister nicholas sarkozy to describe rioters of muslim and north african descent in suburbs outside of paris.

"out of the mainstream," which payack said was used to describe the ideology of any political opponent, was fifth and in sixth place was "deferred success" the euphemism for "fail" that britain's professional association of teachers considered using to bolster students' "self-esteem." the move met with "deferred success."

seventh on the list was "womyn" for women in order to distance the word from men and eighth was using c.e. (common era) for a.d (latin for "year of our lord") so as to be more neutral in dates.

ninth on the top 10 list was words and phrases that either de-christianize the christian holidays or neuter their genders. for example "god rest ye merry persons" replaces "god rest ye merry gentlemen" and "seasons greetings" replaces "merry christmas."

in 10th place was a move aimed at the heart of australian culture when security staff were banned from using the word "mate" to address members of parliament. the mps rebelled and said not being called "mate" was unpatriotic.

Video:A Politically Correct Joke

a caucasian woman, an african american man, and a jewish man enter a perfectly respectable tavern. all three of them order glasses of milk because it is far too early to imbibe alcohol.

promptly after the last man had finished his glass of milk, the jewish man paid the bill and left a large tip for the bartender.

on the way out, they spied a professor from the local university. the african american male then began to discuss string theory with him, and they conversed long into the night.

in the parking lot, the caucasian woman then said farewell to her companions as she drove off to her high powered business meeting.

pink floyd - jugband blues - with correct soundtrack

the person who put this together did some magical work to get it synced up. from what i hear they made this promo film back in 67 for the "ministry of information". the band chose "jugband blues" for the song. film never came out, was presumed lost or never in existance. it resurfaced in 1999 in germany lacking soundtrack and was a bit messed up. this person took it put the song to it, bit of editing to sync it up. enjoy.
