"idiot politicall correctitude"... huh?

As a slightly anoraky teenager in the 1970s I had a huge collection of beermats. This was well before a certain type of commentator had even dreamt up the somewhat perjorative term "political correctness". They're to stand yer glass on to soak up the spillage (beermats, not commentators. Although...). It means when you raise the glass from table to mouth you don't get a beer-splattered crotch.

Next question!
