I can think of a few more! "register" - might indicate that someone has to register as a second-class citizen, enemy alien, etc. "bit" - might imply that someone is only a 'bit player', leading to feelings of inferiority. "tool" - an obviously offensive word meaning that someone is only fit to be used by others. "terminal" - we need to be sensitive about words that bring up the concept of death, to avoid triggering effects. "inheritance" - individuals are not the product of their ancestry! "class" - we don't need a class-structured society, that's a leftover from a feudal past. "polymorphism" - too close to hermaphrodite, must be eliminated.

"Stanford" - may refer to noted racist and Asian-exclusionist Leland Stanford. Also may refer to related location formed originally as a whites-only educational enclave on indigenous lands.

  Yeah if they want to go full political correct that is probably the best place to start.

      That's too close to the spelling of the word Man, which would be exclusionary of the woman gender. Let's call it a Human's degree. Or better yet, a Being's degree. Let's not be speciesists.

        Scentient, please. But let's not use the New Order's classification of species as scentient or not.

"black Friday" - what could possibly have been on sale originally when it got this name?
- rippercushions 4y ago
  Clearly a reference to "white savior" Robinson Crusoe's manservant Friday, a highly offensive stereotype of a subservient BIPOC.

    Know your hierarchy of oppression. That's sexist. Clearly it would be code for His Girl Friday.

      "Girl"? Seriously? Infantilising women is sexist.

        It’s a reference to an old movie.

  I always assumed this was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the 1929 market crash and subsequent events. Taken to mean “this is going to be a really stressful day”. Probably utterly not at all that though.

    The real answer is that financial ledgers used to use black ink for positive numbers and red for negative, hence the terminology "in the red"/"in the black" to mean an enterprise is in debt or profitable. Black Friday was the day of the year where every department store would have so much business that it put them "in the black", even if they had just spent the entire previous part of the year "in the red".

"Trigger warning" is now hurtful and should be replaced by "content note". That's recursively triggering.

Ask the French about the sensitivities involved in 'bit'. Actually, they've already highlighted the issue, with typical maturity and sophistication: https://coq.inria.fr/ https://coq.inria.fr/ . (The name wasn't a coincidence, no.)

<< "polymorphism" - too close to hermaphrodite, must be eliminated. You do not eliminate, you disintermediate. I will admit that this may explain some of the general public's attitude towards academia and higher learning.

How 'bout "gold standard", "golden rule", etc. After all, black people were forced to work in gold mines during South Africa's aparthied era. Maybe the name of the element gold needs to be changed too.

How dare you use such an offensive word as "eliminate"!?!?!? /s

"tool" is historically and currently also slang for penis. Can't have that.
