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 syllable 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.
LOL – great HoT post. I agree with you re: womandate. And ‘persondolin’ had me in stitches. Happy HoT!
I couldn’t agree more…too amusing.
Throw the PC crap out the damn window!
Slicks last blog post..Men On Scooters…..
@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!

Bevs last blog post..When Writers Block Triumphs
@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.
