No but overownerbating will.

"A survey of 10 major Washington, D.C.-area homebuilders found that six no longer use the term master in their floor plans to describe the largest bedroom in the house." If they tried to foist that newspeak garbage on me, I would be compelled to introduce them to two more words: You're fired.

Homosexuals should not be called gay. Gay refers to happy people. They should be called by their real name. Queers. Cause they are queer people.
Sure hope I have not offended anyone.

I really don’t need to hear about your ownernistic pursuits...
To: certrtwngnut
not offended me at all and if anyone is then they need to have a word to themselves , they’re never gay and like you said it means to be happy.
The left chose a positive word and used it for this agenda like they for so many of their agendas

With the invention of the touchpad, "webMEISTER" has become part of late night surfing ~ so has "SURFING" ~ so, the SURFING ROOM or the MEISTER ROOM.

Mistress is female.

Similarly we’re discouraged from using master and slave when talking about circuit components.

I heard Erick Ericson talking about this on WSB tonight while driving to a GOP meeting. Just absolutely absurd.

What’s the problem? It’s not the Massa bedroom.
Master mechanic

As if “mancave” is any better. Not because it makes the man sound dominant. On the contrary, he’s been relegated to having one indoor room to put “his junk” in.
