Moan coming.... I personally think that a man being called a pickpocket is a way better than a woman being called a prostitute! |

Well, we know where we're goin'
But we don't know where we've been
And we know what we're knowin'
But we can't say what we've seen
And we're not little children
And we know what we want
And the future is certain
Give us time to work it out

But it’s ridiculous getting all pc about a word whose connotation as an insult was 200 years ago. I’d imagine hardly anybody sees bird as an insult - apart, maybe, from the knit your own yoghurt brigade. It’s no different to calling someone a berk now when it’s derivation is slang for cunt |

Nobody is getting PC about anything, I just think its a bit of a very old slang term that I personally haven't heard used in about 20 years. But it is a bit off calling someone a bird without knowing the origins, thats like calling a bloke a nonce without knowing the origins of that word. And TBF cunt is more socially accepted than calling someone a prostitute. Also I haven't heard anyone call somebody a berk since the 70s! and everyone with any intelligence knows thats rhyming slang anyway. |
