I thought this was very funny especially if you have teenage kids -Political Correctness For Kids

* Your bedroom isn't cluttered; it's "passage restrictive."
* Kids don't get in trouble anymore; they merely hit "social speed bumps."
* You're not late, you just have a "rescheduled arrival time."
* You're not having a bad hair day; you're suffering from "rebellious follicle syndrome."
* No one's tall anymore; they're "vertically enhanced."
* You're not shy; you're "conversationally selective."
* You don't talk a lot; you're just "abundantly verbal."
* It's not called gossip anymore; it's "speedy transmission of near-factual information."
* The food at the school cafeteria isn't awful; it's "digestively challenged."
* Your locker isn't overflowing with junk, it's just "closure prohibitive."
* You don't have detention, you're just one of the "exit delayed."
* These days, a student isn't lazy. He's "energetically disinclined."
* No one fails a class anymore, he's merely "passing impaired."
* Your homework isn't missing; it's just having an "out-of-notebook experience."
* You're not sleeping in class; you're "rationing consciousness."
* You don't have smelly gym socks; you have "odor retentive athletic footwear."
* You weren't passing notes in class; you were "participating in the discreet exchange of penned meditations."
* You're not being sent to the principal's office; you're "going on a mandatory field trip to the administrative building."

Hi Lauren

Well Im glad that you can associate with your pupils with these great terms.
My personal favourite even though im way past my teenage years is........
You're not having a bad hair day; you're suffering from "rebellious follicle syndrome."

I think this is briliant....especially when I have hair that is very rebellious to humid weather!!!!!!
