Elfinsafety - MemberWTF is 'Political Correctness' anyway? Anyone care to explain?
its a linguistic philosophy based around using non pejorative names for people and things. Thats all it is.
Do what?
Can you repeat that in Idiot please? I only went to a crap school and subsequently my Hinglish is not too good. I don't understand words like 'pejorative'. A bloke I know got done for perjury a while ago. Is it similar?
Similar 🙂
Political correctness is a way of giving things names without calling them names.
Ie I can call you an "educationally subnormal person of restricted growth living with anger management and mental health issues".
I can't call you a "short thick stoppy madman"
It's about being correct, and political, you fool! Like John Major.

Why not? It's technically correct, actually. Dunno about the politics though.
So 'Political Correctness' is about not being rude about/to people then?
Isn't being rude about/to people just a symptom of he antagonist trying to put someone else down in order to feel better about thmeselves then?
Ergo, anyone who bangs on about 'Political Correctness' is insecure and has a small willy?
Right, I understand now.
Carry on.
John Major wasn't correct. He was a Tory, and therefore Wrong.
And he shagged Edwina Curry. That can't possibly be right. Can it? 😯
he had a nice suit.
Doesn't make him right though does it?
No. just a situational comedy!
What like 'Friends'?
I never thought it was that funny really. Bit too contrived and obvious. Pretty ladies in it though.
If I was Brad Pitt, I'd go for Jennifer Anniston over Angelina Jolie.
Watching tonight's.
He said that things aren't necessarily amazing just because they're old. Bang on, that.
Where is he and do you know when the repeat is on? I thought the 2 I have seen have been very funny 🙂
