Politically correct
From Encyclopedia Dramatica
"Politically correct" (formerly known as spastic gay talk)is a common way to refer to speech/old media content/internet content which is bland and inoffensive, for example all of TOW except this (which is constantly spammed with groundless objections, presumably from American citizens descending from West Africa). It is commonly abbreviated as "PC." Do not confuse this with the use of "PC" to refer to IBM's inferior-style computing devices; in that context it stands for "piece of excreted matter." If you think you see someone being PC on the internet, you are probably either reading the blog of a mentally-impaired person or misinterpreting thinly-veiled insults during a flame war.
PC Confusion
Many people like to think that saying "I'm not going to be PC for a moment here" gives them a license to not use their brains. Being politically correct entails being an unlikeable and narrow-minded individual who:
1) discusses how their parents neglected or verbally abused them when they were a child
(NOTE: This development in their lives has had the effect of turning them into emotionally-abused women who just need other people to accept them; moreover, to break down in tears when their fellow men are being bad to each other -- kind of like Sharon Stone)
2) who may have suffered verbal abuse by a classmate during his or her adolescence
3) who wants to use certain words that seem less harsh in order to not offend someone
However, political incorrectness does not mean you have to be offensive, of lesser intelligence or narrow-minded.
People who enjoy being PC (and expect others to do the same)
- Liberals
- African-Americans who have become wealthy through legitimate means
- feminist women, until you criticize them
- people who have an attraction to people of the same sex
- anyone involved in major crimes against humanity (for example, Hitler had a strict no-smoking and no-swearing policy, and was a vegetarian)
