Baa Baa Black Sheep

One of my favorite nursery rhymes when I was a kid, but now highly racist. Black sheep, as in "black sheep of the family" is an expression you can't use anymore. One of Baa Baa's customers is a master--now considered a racist word that is being purged from the English language. The other two, the dame and the flapper girl, are negative sexual stereotypes.
