“Brandeis University got some unwanted publicity last week when its “Oppressive-Words List” became public.
…
Avoiding these words, the university says, will prevent those who have “experienced violence” from being further hurt. The rules aren’t mandatory, but by allowing the list to be circulated on an official site, Brandeis has lent its authority to a thought-stifling mechanism — a tragic turn events for a school named after Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis, an ardent free-speech champion.
Among the verboten words: “picnic” (because of a bogus claim that the word is associated with anti-black lynchings in the South) and “trigger warning” (because the word “trigger” might evoke violence;
…
“The document also seeks to erase from conversation such inoffensive language as “take a shot at,” “killing it,” “you guys,” “ladies and gentlemen,” “no can do,” as well as objectively descriptive terms such as “prostitute,” “addict,” “mentally ill,” “homeless,” “wheelchair-bound” and even “victim” and “survivor” on the dubious grounds that they are hurtful.“

As a victim and survivor of not getting enough since I was a freshman in high school, it woke long dead feelings instead of killing it. Believe me, these past years have been insane and no picnic. If any of you guys can help me, take a stab at it.

Lol this is beyond stupid. People need to grow tougher skin.

Oh, I am effed. . . I use a bunch of those listed in the OP. Didn't even (and not going to) look at the whole list.
I used "hamstrung" and "our hands are tied" often these past many weeks. I haven't gotten any negative feedback, at least to me face.
Where's that video of some conference somewhere where people stood up and had to say "point of personal order/preference" or some crap like that. Where clapping was banned because some people were too sensitive to that. Sigh. . .

LOL....You guys are killing it!
I'd like to take a shot at another 2A picnic.
But no can do because the range locks up at 4:15.
We gun addicts are all victims of the pandemic, but we are all survivors.

Once you get woke it's important to stay wide awake.
Drug dealers are peddling ethically sourced ‘woke coke’ now

Colleges are liberal breading grounds. DNC plan from decades ago. The DNC has their roots in many things and this is just another.

Regarding most of the above posts.
BANNED !
Or please don’t use any of the above statements as you are too old and they are potentially injurious to various people.
:rofl:
MrGaf,
What about a tank with a rail gun ?
Bio with vaxx? That’s a scary thought if communicable.
