Wow. What nonsense.

[Katy Lied]

I'm very offended by the term sack lunch. Everyone knows that sack is another word for testicles. Such a sexist, misogynist term. I demand that all and sundry cease using this term.

That's why I always call it a pouch lunch.

Well said, Katy and I agree. Now, if you'll excuse me, it's time for me to meet with some friends for lunch at Hooters.

I thought it was more sexist towards men....

The New York Post reported in March 2012 that the city’s Department of Education avoids references to words like “dinosaurs,” “birthdays,” “Halloween” and dozens of other topics on city-issued tests because they could evoke “unpleasant emotions” among the students.


Dinosaurs, for example, conjures the topic of evolution, which could rile fundamentalists and birthdays are not celebrated by Jehovah’s Witnesses. Halloween, meanwhile, suggests an affiliation to Paganism.

So do teachers in the public schools of Seattle not talk about dinosaurs and evolution? Do they refer to dinosaurs as 'those we don't speak of' or something?
