According to Wikipedia, the term “Political Correctness” began in the 1990s and was first used by right wing conservative politicians, “… to describe the attitude or policy of being careful not to offend or upset any group of people in society who are believed to have a disadvantage.”

I would guess if you asked 100 people on the street which party has made a living using political correctness they would not answer conservatives.

So if you are unintentionally offending some people being politically incorrect here are the correct terms you should be using to correct your political correctitude. (Yes, it’s a word; look it up.)

Some Final Thoughts

As I relax in my lower extremity elevating reposing device (recliner), with my Rat Terrier-American dog, drinking a CO2 activated beverage, enjoying some lower extremity sports (football), I’m reflecting on some frozen hydrogen oxygen mixture activity in the coming days. What are you up to?
