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.

Couple weeks ago, I wasted an hour or so tracking down a problem that turned out to be a 'male to male' adapter that had gotten knocked loose.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
