When a duck isn’t a duck.
If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a – wait a minute: calling it a duck may be politically incorrect. The 'Society for the Preservation of Ducks Which Aren't ' will send the Quackers Police after you. And don't say 'quacker' because you will offend crackers, especially those which want to be known as biscuits.
Ridiculous? Of course. But it anymore nonsensical than Australians demanding Santas stop saying Ho Ho Ho because it is an insulting word to prostitutes, who are correctly called sex trade workers, in North America?
Is that any more ridiculous than saying happy holidays instead of the traditional Merry Christmas greeting? Who is actually offended? Why don't we hear the complaints from members of other religions, rather than Politically Correct People who are afraid of them, and don't want anyone to stir up other religious groups – as if members of other religions were that touchy?
Wait until the Politically Correct People find out that the word 'holiday' is a contraction of the words 'holy day'. If it is incorrect to say 'Merry Christmas', why is Happy Holy Day correct? If a complainer doesn't want to hear the Merry Christmas greeting they shouldn't put themselves in the way of happiness. Stay home. Turn off the radio and TV. Don't answer the phone, and while at it, why not hide under the bed.
