Some people don't have much food on their table, but they got a lot of forks and knives, and they've gotta cut something...

(You can play spot the quote if you like)

The PC nonsense will no doubt pass one day. Back in the past, when the American language was being censored, (e.g. chickadees instead of titmice), there was a SERIOUS proposal that the guy who steers a rowing boat should be called a roosterswain, not a coxswain.

This is reflected today in the idiocy of those who thought the word Manager should be replaced (by personager?) even though it has nothing to do with MAN.
