Words that Have Escaped Political Correctness: Some That Need to Be Updated

Manner has escaped the gender neutral requirement of polite society. It’s also the word of the day for Heads or Tails.

Womaner? Personer? I want to be kept in which the womaner of which I am accustomed.

Manage: Personage? isn’t that where a pastor lives? No way would you put woman and age together to make womanage!

Manatee: Now figure this, they are also called sea cows. Why not bullatee?  Or sea bulls?

Mandate: Again, this does not compute. Women give orders. Women mandate! Womandate is more accurate, forget political correctness.

Mandolin: Persondolin, if you put the emphasis on the second syllablye it’s really a pretty cool word: per-SON-do-lin.

Ah, there’s a bunch more, but I really wanted to work mangy into this post. But since it has a long “a” it just doesn’t quit fit.

Mangling my manhood on a manifold is not the manner in which I wish to be manicured.

    @Siani: wish I could come up with a good definition for persondolin
    maybe think of it as Kentucky talk for persondoling? Emphasis has to be on second syllablye… so person-doling is out.

    @Slick: You just posted here hoping people will read your Men on Scooters post and read my comment didn’t ya!

    You did think outside the box, didn’t you? I would say boy-o-boy what a great post but I don’t want to ruin the theme here…so I will say person-o-person…that was very clever!

    @Bev: Thanks. I would have trouble thinking inside the box when it comes to Heads or Tails. Perhaps that should be a challenge some day: write the most predictable post ever.
