I do not subscribe to the concept of poliTidal correctness as it does little more than condone not saying or doing what is either right or wrong.
In that vein we used to say "Charlie's dead" meaning one's slip was showing. Like many of the others it had NOTHING to do with Charlie.
Back then there was no word smithing police to cry foul at the drop of a hat like we have these days. ToDay far Too many phrases, words made to represent something never intended.
