And if offensive is not defined by usage,
linguistic origin, historical application, the
intent of the speaker, nor the acceptability
to those potentially offended, what in blue
blazes does define "offense"?
You?
And if imaginary registration in a roll of
inherently offensive terms, without the application
of history, language, usage, and feelings as
requirements, is not an example of the most
mindless PC Culture, then nothing is.
Where can I obtain a copy of this totally
authoritative but mystically known-only-
to-you list of offenses? Can I find it on
the internet, write off for it, or do I have to
consult the nearest flaming shrubbery?
