I am sure this has been posted - I know this issue has been talked about here - but there are a couple in here of new import to me. I especially like "undocumented resident" instead of "illegal,"alien", et al.,

1). Big Business: Instead, try: Unelected Government.

(2). Entitlements: Instead, try: Earned Benefits.


(4). Government Spending: Instead, try: Investing in America.
(5). Gun Control: Gun Safety.

(6). Illegal Aliens Instead, try: Undocumented Residents.


(9). The Environment: Instead, try: Shared Resources.
(10). Welfare: . Instead, try: Social Safety Net

I believe this has been tried before, DUmmie.

Strange how words morph and come into being.  Being Cool was at one time called Hot.

Up here anything that is really good is called wicked. 

I was amazed to find so many Indonesians with the same last name from different islands, FNU---pronounced as Far-New.     Finally it came to me that this was like the slang word for Italians was WOP.

On their papers as they had no last name the Fnu stood for Family Name Unknown.   Like WOP stood for    With Out Papers to those Italians that just came here in the 1900's.

Odd thing on medical records for children some times FLK will show up,   stands for , Funny looking kid.

English incorporates words from other languages, the French are so jealous of their language they get outraged when a word from another language can not be translated into French so the word is used from another language.

I have no problem with calling illegals as Wops regardless of where they come from.

Pro abortionists as KOHL's   killers of human Life , pronounced as Koal's.

Pro life as ----What-----Anyone have an idea for a good term for US ????
