- rmc 13y agoTo take this story more off topic, I think it's important to look at history. There are phrases now that used to be "wide-meaning colloquialisms" but now viewed as unprofessional, and used to be dismissed as "inadvertant(ly)" causing "offence" to a 'tiny sensitive minority'. (e.g. calling women "baby"). That doesn't mean we shouldn't look at our words today.
