We are not allowed to say "dikes" or "peckerhead cover" on the radio, too many stupid listeners
|

We have a slew of technical terms we're not allowed to use anymore, not even in marketing material. I don't understand how we're supposed to market that our product meets such-and-such IEEE standard when the C-suite won't let us use the description of the applicable IEEE standard because it's apparently racially insensitive or something.

Aaahh. The good old red and gray. I spent 3 years working at their manufacturing center in Duncan. They laid off 1220 of us in 2 weeks. I said that they would never get me again. I packed up and never looked back. Absolutely the worst managed company that I ever worked for (including the U.S. .gov).

Quoted: I'm with ya. What the fuck is wrong with jig? Edit. "Jigaboo"? Really? I honestly have no idea how to be upset by what things are named. It's retarded. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: I get the master/slave thing But I don't really see the issue with all the other names Edit. "Jigaboo"? Really? I honestly have no idea how to be upset by what things are named. It's retarded. Canada apparently has a lake with that name. Mexico has a shoe store with that name. Brazil has a clothing store with that name. If somebody tried opening a store with that name in the US, it would be protested, vandalized, and burned. |

I design and build houses. The granite company we use no longer refers to the "Master Bathroom". It's the "Owners Bathroom" which sound more racial than Master. Lol.

The Real Estate industry had to change from Master Bed/Master Bath to Owner's Bed/Owner's Bath.
Being owned is so much better than having a master. |

Quoted: Since the world is fully embraced insanity and degenerates, what about the dominatrix community? Will they have to change the terms for master and slave as well? They should be offended and make everyone go back to naming everything master and slave again. View Quote Actually, changing Master/Slave to Dom/Sub would likely be met with overwhelming approval. |

I wasn't referring to the three letter word that some people are claiming is short for another word. This is apparently the logo for the 'street wear' clothing store in Brazil. Attached File ETA: And India apparently has a line of running shoes (in obnoxious colors) by that name. |

When I'm shading video cameras I often "crush the blacks".
Am I racist? |

I love getting to use the term "peckerhead" in technical meetings. Always gets some snickers.

Ballcock FTW
None of the plumbing fittings in my house are confused. I won’t need the transgender plumbing section at Lowe’s. Fucking world is too stupid to survive. |

Quoted: There is nothing wrong with Jigger, it's a container used to mix drinks. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: Legally change first name to Jig, make them loose their minds. Indian guy at work is called "Jigger" because no one can pronounce his real name. Some people have tried to express discomfort over this, but that's the name he introduces himself with.

My favorite was always "bitch link" for fixed chain anchor.
Sure glad I learned this to be a "monkey face" from someone more with the times. |

So, what am I supposed to call the weighted, feathery things with hooks I have in my tackle box?
This crap all started when gay stopped meaning uplifted spirits/happy times! Are brake retarders now verboten too? |

Can I still tell a driver that his truck is running dog assed??

LOL,
For years as a carpenter ( carpenter 1981 - 2004) I joking said "You can't call it a Jig anymore, you have to call it a fixture". Now it looks like it's coming true. |

Quoted: Petcocks View Quote I work for large oil. They sent several of us to an 8 hour boiler course since we have fired furnace boilers. Come to find out the boilers in question for the training class were residential and industrial water boilers, which didn't pertain to us at all. So the 5-6 of us, including a higher up manager just kind of sat through the course BSing and grab assing and fucking around under our breath. All the other attendees were thinking "who the fuck are these clowns"? Then a slide came up about petcock and tricock operation, except the slide said "Pet Cocks and Try Cocks, Theory of Operation" or something like that, and half of us clowns lost it right then and there. The instructor was fuming that we weren't taking it seriously at that point, and the fact that it was back when we were allowed a wet lunch with alcohol when off on training didn't help the matter because we all had something to drink. Fun times. |

Looks like I need to retire my porn name.

Master / Slave has been replaced in my field and changed to Parent / Child. This is in reference to Fiber Optic Nodes

Quoted: Northrop Grumman at least here on Long Island, banned the use of "jig" decades ago. They all had to be called "fixtures." View Quote That’s retarded. A jig guides a cutting tool. A fixture holds a work piece. They aren’t the same, although most people conflate the two. Adding imprecision to language is the work of mind slavers. |

Our belt drives have 2-3 VFD's on them they went from master,slave to mother and daughter...

I will start referring to our spare bedrooms as the servant's quarters in an effort to be more politically correct around my colored people friends. |

Distributors are no longer to be retarded or advanced. They will add spark at their own curve and ability.

Not even sure how I am going to get through the fishing season now, not being able to use the term "jig".
LOL. Clown World. |

I keep waiting for someone to decide that the warning stickers on ladders are racist because the stick figure falling off is black.

I can NEVER remember the difference between a close nipple and a chase nipple. Always have to ask at the supply house. Always a bit awkward.
