The worst people for such daft politically-correct terminology are the USAF. When I was at a combined forces briefing, the F-15 mob kept referring to a 'fighter box' as a 'fighter container' and 'head-to-head' intercepts as 'inter cranial'.
When I queried this weirdness, they told me that they'd been banned from using the words 'box' and 'head' as their wimmin found them offensive...
I kid you not!
So after a few days of this tosh, I told them that they had to stop using another word which our female personnel considered offensive for the same reason.
"Which word?", they queried.
"Bush!"
