The rot set in when my Nav friends were deemed: 'Directional Consultants'.
It started as a bar room joke but subsequently acquired some traction.
I frequently have trouble with the current 'In' or 'Out' words but continue to rely, when referring to those east or south of Suez as: Citizens of the new Commonwealth and Emergent nations. I think I get away with it because the Woke community don't have a clue what I'm on about (nor on many other issues as well!!).
