Out with the old, in with the new?

While surfing the web looking for some new word ideas I stumbled upon this wonderful list of old insensitive words and their new sensitive counterparts aka Politically Correct terms.  It made me laugh and I thought it would be worth sharing.  This is only a partial list, for the full list please visit http://tartanmarine.blogspot.com/2010/05/new-politically-correct-terms.html

These are my favorites from a much larger list.

I would like to add Christmas to this list. Why, because I have actually heard stories of people flipping out because someone said Merry Christmas to them!  The holiday of CHRISTmas is centered on the birth of the Savior Jesus Christ.  Whether you believe in that or not, it does not matter because that is just the way it is!  If you don't like it, you can simple smile and say thanks or just reply Happy Holidays if you feel that better reflects your beliefs, but you don't have to get your knickers in a wad because someone extends a holiday greeting that coincides with their personal beliefs!
