It's ElephantsWhy have dwarves got big ears?

They don't.so what did they find in pearl harbour on the morning of December 7th? Sure it was a midget submarine.
I honestly dont know when people find the time to get outraged by stuff these days
How dare you!? they are known as growth challenged Mini Mosquitoes and Damn you and your entire life for not knowing thatAre midgie flies out anarl?
Finally, some good news for the gammons.The Oxford Dictionary has said by the end of the century the book will consist of the front cover only.This is due to the fact that every word printed in the book will have offended someone.People in the future will have to revert back to the days of the cavemen OG and UG and just use grunts to communicate .
The only foaming is from those screaming about gammons. Everybody else is just taking the piss.Pc gone maaaaaaad
Just called them midgie gems
Are mg renaming the midget
Gammons foaming
Not to piss on your chips but do you not think people will continue to find perfectly good words within the English language and use them in a derogatory way, hence taking away the right of people to use certain words without malice?Simple fact is that midget is used as a derogatory term and is offensive to people. As such it seems right to change the name. No big deal for most people and nothing to get remotely annoyed about.
And Black JacksVertically challenged gems sounds better. Cheesy puffs and faggots next.
And Little Mix is offensive to small, Irish people.

Language evolves and words become associated with offensive connotations, working in learning disabilities for much of my career there are lots of words no one would use now that were perfectly acceptable medical terminology years ago. Intent to offend is obviously a factor but offence can still be caused unintentionally and shouldn’t be dismissed entirely. I’d be absolutely livid if the people I support were referred to in archaic medical language by people that intend to offend but more likely to explain the reasons not to use such language where it’s through ignorance rather than malice. I fully understand why midget is problematic.Not to piss on your chips but do you not think people will continue to find perfectly good words within the English language and use them in a derogatory way, hence taking away the right of people to use certain words without malice?
Maybe people should stop being so precious and getting offended at things that aren't necessarily intended to be offensive.

Like when the Spastics Society changed their name to Scope?Language evolves and words become associated with offensive connotations, working in learning disabilities for much of my career there are lots of words no one would use now that were perfectly acceptable medical terminology years ago.

Yeah, the word had become widely used as an insult but is still used in lots of places. Watched Buffy the vampire slayer with my son recently and “ Spaz” as well as “ retard” were used a few times.Like when the Spastics Society changed their name to Scope?
Imagine making a film based around racism in 70’s Britain and not being able to use derogatory remarks.Yeah, the word had become widely used as an insult but is still used in lots of places.

There’s a balance of course, in literature for example not using historically accurate language is problematic in my view and ignores historical context, reducing educational opportunities but in modern life there is no reason to use those kinds of words in relation to individuals whether in relation to disabilities, race, sexuality, faith or gender.
