although whenever I see "PC", I think "to who's standard?" since every group has its own shibboleths and phrases they hold fast to as "proper". -- nm - Reagen Jan 14, 19:53 6
- My personal definition of PC is "politeness that I happen to disagree with" -- nm - Roger More Jan 14, 19:57 5
  - it doesn't have to be polite though - Reagen Jan 14, 20:01 3
    - But no one really uses the phrase "politically correct" except for people who complain about having to be politically correct - Roger More Jan 14, 20:10 2
      - it's just the new code for "i want to be able to call black people n***er like the good old days" - slipping jimmy Jan 14, 20:17
      - like if Trump started using the phrase "undocumented aliens" without sneering, he'd be savaged - Reagen Jan 14, 20:16
  - I like that. -- nm - Krusty Jan 14, 20:00
