Quote #223

[alt.usage.english, Date: 13 Aug 1994 14:59:08 MET]
It seems to be impossible to parody PC. Any suggestion, no matter how
outrageous, will be taken seriously by someone out there. I'm now convinced
there must be people who use "vertically challenged" (short) and
"metabolically challenged" (dead) with a straight face.
Until people stop this madness, there's little hope of succeeding with sane
proposals like avoiding "he" and "man" as gender-neutral terms.
