No, what I meant was...

In today’s world of ‘political correctness’, I love it when people come up with new ways to reference everyday terms.  People don’t want to be “wrong”, so they get creative.  Here’s a couple of my favorites:

   ·         “Kidnapping” is such a strong term…I prefer “surprise adoption”.
   ·         I don't like the term "stalking"...I prefer "aggressively pursuing a hopeful objective" or "collector of dolls made from your hair". 
   ·         I'm not actually “dangerously unbalanced”. At most, I'm “gracefully insane”. 
   ·         He doesn’t have a “dirty mind”, he has “Introspective pornographic moments”.

Then there are those insults that are just mean enough to be funny:

   ·         I`m sorry I hurt your feelings when I called you stupid.  I really thought you already knew.
   ·         To all the students who drop out and fail high school: Remember two things, 1. You tried your best, and 2. I don`t like pickles on my BigMac.
   ·         As an outsider, what do YOU think of the human race?

And who keeps changing the real, politically correct terms?  Who can keep up?  Here are some that should never change:

   ·         Shoplifter:  Cost-of-Living Adjustment Specialist
   ·         Prostitute:  Sex care provider
   ·         Assassination:  Involuntary term limitation
   ·         Failure:  Non-traditional success
   ·         Homeless person:  Residentially flexible individual
   ·         Ignorant:  Factually unencumbered
   ·         Insane:  Reality challenged
   ·         Mugging:  Unforseen funding of underclass


So I’m not ‘old and fat’ I’m a ‘chronologically gifted person of substance’!
