It seems like a lot of effort to go around making sure you don't say something which could be construed in some way offensive to some group of people, even if it's meant with all innocent intention and in proper use.

I don't like the word "offensive" anymore, so don't use it when speaking with me. Somebody once told me that my odor was "offensive", and it hurts my feelings to hear the word.

Mike, we understand some things are offensive in and of themselves but PC has run amok.

  Well, idolize a turd all you want. The thing I'm saying is, if the City
  of LA says this is offensive, this is offensive to some group of people
  with enough clout to get the city to come out against it. When you make
  fun of people for being hurt by something, you are going into a whole
  other place than silly rules about language.

  Where I work, this phrase is considered offensive and I have to avoid
  saying it, so I understand where they are coming from.

  Great, so lets limit anything that anyone could find even remotely
  offensive
  at anytime. I only have enough white spandex suits for ten people, who
  else
  needs to go buy some? Does anyone have the casette of the song they sang
  in
  the south park christmas special from episode 110 Mr Hankey the
  Christmas
  Poo.
