Apparently it’s offensive to people who are « differently limbed » aka missing one of those body parts!
At schools, it’s no longer black or white board, it’s chalkboard or marker board or some such nonsense.
Brainstorming is also out, children have to draw idea clouds. This is all according to friends who work in education, and it drives me batty!

what's the issue with brainstorming? Who is that offensive to? Am I being thick?

When you're still pregnant and people see you and say "awww are you still here?"
Not sure if this is just a Scottish thing but it makes no bleeping sense anyway!

"New and improved." If something's new, it didn't exist before now. If it's improved, it obviously did exist before.

Referring to children as the father's only, i.e. "it's his child", "is the baby his?" Or any talk of women "giving" men children. My fiancé and I have decided not to have biological children and while that was a mutual decision, I feel like part of my reasoning was the attitudes around it

This one puzzled me too, but it’s to do with neurological conditions like epilepsy and not wanting to stigmatise people with them, or something! About as clear as mud!

Probably offensive to those who don't have any brains (or at least don't know how to use them) :ROFLMAO:

I beyond hate : ' a bunch of', and 'a ton of' whatever. Very popular with our American friends. But I can't stand these expressions. Grrrrrr!

The stuff people say regarding pregnancy and feeding is so weird. A woman saw me breastfeeding my one-year-old the other day and said "oh, is she still on you?" On me! Very strange. I mean, technically yes, a couple of times a day when she's feeding. But still.
