Good enough for a cheer up laugh on a cold summer morning. (*_*)

Right, it wasn't "politically correct" to begin with. Political correctness is an invention of the last five to ten years. As is the hype in nations asking official pardons for incorrect treatments in he past. Where is the end to all the pardons we have to give and ask for.
Isn't it better to do things right now in stead of making empty repairs for the past?
In offense it's all about the way you adress someone. The words hardly matter. You can call someone: "doormat", "buttercup" " chair", even "mate" or "friend" and be offensive. You can say:"creep" "hottentot", "hooplehead" (borrowed) and not be offensive.
No betting on a comet, I guess?
