The Police

[spathiphyllum]

Please can we stop using words like "Policeman" or "Policewoman". Use gender neutral terms like "Tools of the capitalist bourgeoisie and enemy of the people".

[Mamyalynne]

Course you can love, try it on Friday night :-)

[spathiphyllum]

:P We both know it wouldn't end well for me

[retrocop]

Hilarious.

[Zacs-Master]

Except that 'bourgeoisie' is feminine.

[spathiphyllum]

How so? UK doesn't have masc and fem language unlike the french.

[spathiphyllum]

I understand the word steamed from the french language, but that doesn't make it femenine. In France it's "bourgeois" in UK it's "bourgeoisie".

[Mamyalynne]

The word is fine in the context you've used it, not one I use much all the same.

If that is a joke, then, Lord Snotty, you will be put to the sword on the day of the revolution. Gillette will be sponsoring the event.

I think it might be Gilet, Dt...

[spathiphyllum]

I prefer Bic ;)

[douglas9401]

I'd say don't give up the day job but todays outpourings suggest I'm too late.

[Mamyalynne]

On yer Bic, may well be the reply.

[DTCwordfan]

that's sharp, douglas.....

[Baldric]

A rare occasion I find myself in agreement with douglas ;o)

[Canary42]

Why not just PC. Or is that not PC.
