45 INVENTIONS/BAD INVENTIONS/POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Political Correctness (PC) is a form of intellectual bullying. Some people simply are not blessed with the ability to think up imaginative, nice sounding phrases like ‘Motorially Challenged People’ and find the expression ‘Spastic’ easier to remember. Others have trouble pronouncing the words and find ‘Spasmo’ less effort to blurt out, especially motorially challenged people.
Some PC words are too cold and clinical. Lezzer is an expression that is warm and embracing; it suggests action, some one who is lezzing. Lesbian sounds passive and lugubrious in comparison. The same axiom applies to knob jockey and homosexual.
The PC way to deal with someone who doesn’t agree with you, is either to get lawyers involved, or invade them. Both solutions are very expensive. Soon all Saturday night pub brawls will be resolved with legal teams and BLU82 Daisy Cutter bombs. The phrase ‘Leave it John, he ain’t worth it’ will soon be replaced with ‘My council has issued you a ten point ultimatum. Non compliance will result in an all out nuclear strike.’ Queue jumpers beware.
