Aren't We Ever So PC!

Drop in and dribble on about nothing serious. Seriously a mad place to hang out. Better to avoid it if you're not in the mood!!! If you're determined to be sad, bad, mad & angry then move along!!!

Yes, Peter,
I meant 'Politically Correct.'
I thought that would have been obvious from the context.

"Aren't We Ever So Personal Computer" just doesn't make sense, does it? :roll:

But then if it had been "Aren't we ever so Apple" it become a very cryptic statement :lol:

As far it being politically correct or attempting to be non racist/offensive.... I guess it's all in what you were brought up with as being acceptable. I remember when "Bugga" was swearing ;) Now we have TV shows with a cook dropping the F word every five minutes, it sure is a mixed up mess of what is acceptable and what isn't.

I thought the same when getting a clout across the back of the head for saying Bugga, but the F word being dropped every five mins is still a bit over the top for a TV show in my book, but I am getting old I guess.
The PC rewrite of Waltzing Matilda done by a pair of entertainers at the Canberra CMCA rally back in 2000 really put the finger on the PC nonsense that was going on even then. When the terminology changed from a black out to a power outage they had lost the plot, next thing you know dead will be no longer acceptable and living challenged will be the PC term :roll:
