I'm not fat! I'm horizontally challenged!
What "politically correct" terms can you come up with? (It doesn't have to be about weight).
Here's my contribution:
Fat - Horizontally challenged
This is just for sh!ts and giggles, folks. =D
If I think someone is close to being off the hook nuts, I generally say they are "just this side of with us." Not really politically correct. I use the expression jokingly, of course.
Short - vertically challenged xD
Deffered succces Instead of fail
Celebration of winter instead of celebration of Christmas is common place in many schools now.
The only two I use regularly:
child = small person.
bat**** crazy = slightly out of tune with the rest of the world.
Someone I knew used the term "Appalachian American" when he meant redneck. I thought that was hilarious.
A few I frequently hear are:
Independant Pharmaceutical Sales (drug dealer)
Artist for the State (they draw a check each month)
Prescriptatutes (trade sex for drugs)
stupid/dumb = Intellectually disadvantaged (it also applies to those who are smart but make stupid decisions...)
Oh, yeah, I am in shape.... round is a shape!
**My favorite: rude....................politically correct
mentally retarded.......exceptional
meter maid..............parking enforcement aduciator
minority group..........numerically challenged group
old joke................previously recounted humorous narrative
old person..............gerontologically advanced
old.....................experientially enhanced
perverted...............sexually dysfunctional
shoplifter..............non-traditional shopper
snowman.................snowperson

haha I constantly tell people that I'M not short- everyone else has been freakishly affected by growth hormones. I was in my fall out shelter at the time and have retained my natural human form. I hope to repopulate the earth one day with us 'normies'.
I heard this one on the radio in an add for an ED pill:
premature ejaculation= "premature stamina"
How about these:
- !@#@!#@! backwards idiot= "Cerebrally challenged"
- Inbred= "Genetically challenged"
- #@$#@$#@! management type= "Ethically challenged"

Lol!! I love that one. XD
Subway workers = Sandwich artists lololol
Short: Lower center of gravity
Dead: Mortally challenged (though I admit, I am not sure that one is correct).
In college, a guy on my floor, from Romania, put up a list of these (in response to an ultra PC list our resident counciler put up). In included such gems as (all writen as "don't say ___, say ____"):
Romanian = Russian
Russian = Eastern European
Eastern European = Drunk
it then devolved into a list of drinking synonyms, like:
Double fisting = Efficient
Passed out = Resting
Alcohol poisoning = Mission Accomplished
The RC took it down because she thought that someone had posted it to make fun of the guy - when we explained that HE, the Romanian, had written it, she put it back up. Hope it doesn't offend anyone - at least when I was 18, it was hiLARious.
