Too much pride is taken in the correcting by the pseudo-offended, holier-than-thou brigade.
Including the F-15 children who banned the use of the words 'head' and 'box' and insisted upon 'locker' (yes, really) and 'container' - because the more normal words were deemed offensive to wimmin.
So we asked them to stop using a word which was highly offensive to female members of our detachment. Mortified, they asked what the word was....
"Bush".
Gibson's sodding dog wasn't a pedigree black lab at all. It was a bit of a mutt, with a white blaze and was dark brown. The same colour as a well-known paint pigment (and Kiwi boot polish) colour of the time.
