So people get annoyed with words - sticks and stones obviously doesn't apply anymore.

So what is racist, what is ofefnsive and at what point do we stop.

Listening to 5 live quite a while ago, I remember a woman saying that she found the word "miss" offensive. Obviously TCL and j_bug find coloured offensive - or do they?

Do they actually find it offensive, or do they not like the use of the term in case some people do find it offensive?

How many people does it take to take offense at a word before it gets banned?

Best quote I ever heard was from a member of the dyslexic association. When asked if dyslexics found the term "brain storming" offensive she replied in the negative and added that they actually took offense at the word "dyslexic"
