Title: You're gonna love this one

Mrs S informs me, during a conversation in which I referred to "Brain Storming" (something that was big when I last worked in London), that one may no longer refer to Brain Storming in case it upsets those who may have brain injuries. The new PC expression is "Thought Shower".

She also tells me that I may no longer say PC (Politically Correct) ~ as it is no longer Politically Correct  ::)

We us Free Thinking, I  was pulled up for using the word homework  on a handout I gave participants(?) The correct phrase was 'Suggested Reading' I suggested that if the suggested reading was not done  by the following week  they would be in the shit!

I am deeply offended by the term 'thought shower' as a) I am not thoughful (according to Mrs H) and b) I'm too lazy to stand in the shower when we have a perfectly good bath to lie in...
