Is half-caste insulting? What should you say then!?!
Mixed race I think is the acceptable term these days. By acceptable I mean of course, unlikely to more than midly offend some lefty, liberal, bleeding heart, hand-wringing do-gooder.
"Man up" - genuine question - which demographic is offended by that ?
I guess the problem is that men are supposed to have certain attributes - being tough, strong macho, that kind of thing, and that anyone who that doesn't describe is less of a man? Hardly the worst term on the list

its an odd one, one of my friends is a die hard feminist and on a couple of occasions she's reminded me to "man up". Don't see it as offensive at all.
Personally I cannot see anything wrong with words such as Half Caste, Coloured, Midget, Cripple or Handicapped and anyone that is offended with the term "man up" needs to take a serious look at themselves.
Yet another strike at the way we live by the PC brigade.
Are you serious? Or are you some kind of forum algorithm designed to create arguments and increase web traffic?
Yet another strike? At what point in your daily life are you forced to suffer by a imaginary collection of people?
"I was invited, with the missus, to a luncheon at me pals chateau the other Sunday and I was placed next to an Aussie bint (yes they're over here an all!) who told me that when she was recently up the duff she was offended to be called a "yummy mummy" by her sister-in-law on the grounds that it was sexist. Oh by the way, it was her husband who kept knipping upstairs to check on the baby sitter (to my knowledge he weren't dipping it) and who ultimately went to bed early while the sheila got pissed on the vino!"

Yes I am serious, none of the words offend me now nor would they offend me if I had mixed race parents, black skin, was four foot tall or walked on crutches. As one of the posters above said he has a friend who is a cripple (Oooo sorry) and he has no problem with being called one.
The problem with this country is the ones that are offended the most are the tree hugging liberals who have nothing better to do. The people they claim to represent do not make half as much fuss.

So add the term "Yummy mummy" to the list!
I'll start with:
work, employment, receipt

I have no idea what this word algorithm means but I like it
