Did you know the Moon was once staffed? True. I read
it on Wikipedia.
Ah, Wikipedia. Encyclopedia to the masses, and,
unfortunately, fastened firmly and mercilessly to the rock of political
correctness. Years ago I noted their abhorrence of the word “manned,” as in,
for example, a “manned” spacecraft. Back then they called it “human-crewed.”
Doubtless embarrassed by the intense awkward ugliness
of that artificially-created adjective, a search was called for a new
alternative to the evil vileness of the misogynistic word “manned.” Hordes of
feminists and social justice warriors bent to the task, and soon it was found:
STAFFED
Exhibit A, bottom paragraph (click on image to enlarge it):
Love it! LOL, as the kids say (do they still say
that?) Try reading that last paragraph imagining a bell sounding every time you
read the word “staffed.” Or better yet, an air horn, for all its clumsiness.
O Political Correctness! Will it be you that binds me
in my elder days in chains and hauls me to the executioner’s block, or are you
reserving your venom for my children or my children’s children?

What's even more diabolical? You could do time for uttering the "m" word in California.

And when are common colloquialisms like "Oh Man", "Bro!" and "Dude!" eliminated from the lexicon? Seriously Bra
