Arqmis: Respecting the ties between language and politics, it was only a few years ago that a Politically Correct contingent of the Evangelical Right decreed that "flesh" was too suggestive for the color and that thereafter it wold be called "peach"
I thought the Crayola PC problem was that not everyone's skin is "flesh"-colored rather than that it was evocative of the sins of the peach.
