"Deferred Success" is new term for failure -report
lol
I find some of this stuff amusing
From:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politically_correct
The elderly became senior citizens
Foreign students became international students.
heart attack became a cardiovascular event
Department of Prisons became the Department of Corrections
War Department, together with the Navy Department became the Defense Department
Civilian deaths became collateral damage
Juvenile delinquents became troubled youth or children at risk
Affirmative action is used to describe preferences based on race, ethnicity and sex.
Illegal alien became illegal immigrant. More recently the term undocumented immigrant is used.
...in a satirical example of so-called political correctness speech, the sentence "The fireman put a ladder up against the tree, climbed it, and rescued the cat" might look like this:
The firefighter (who happened to be male, but could just as easily have been female) abridged the rights of the cat to determine for itself where it wanted to walk, climb, or rest, and inflicted his own value judgements in determining that it needed to be 'rescued' from its chosen perch. In callous disregard for the well-being of the environment, and this one tree in particular, he thrust the mobility-disadvantaged unfriendly means of ascent known as a 'ladder' carelessly up against the tree, marring its bark, and unfeelingly climbed it, unconcerned how his display of physical prowess might injure the self-esteem of those differently-abled. He kidnapped and unjustly restrained the innocent feline with the intention of returning it to the person who claimed to 'own' the naturally free animal.
