They say that the pancreas is named after General Stonewall Pancreas,famous for the battle of Bull Creek.

“Blackbird singing in the dead of night..”
Names in contention:

AfricanAmericanbird singing in the dead of night.

Birdofcolor singing in the dead of night.

renamed the dildo

[BlackbirdSST]

I’m an endangered species? Leave me the hell alone.

[Larry Lucido]

Even better.

[Pajamajan]

a cultural revolution where no one of any consequence is stopping them and anyone who does try gets run over by the complicit mob of morons who can’t see the danger because they are purely STUPID!

All the problems in all the world.... They focus on bird names. 🙄

And how much is it going to cost to change all the names? Millions?

[FlingWingFlyer]

A bunch of idiot azhos with nothing to do. Blue Jay, Cardinal, Robin. Yeah they are all as offensive as hell. When these little titmice were in Head Start and Kindergarten, they were taught to regurgitate, “I wanna change da whurl.” NOBODY SAID THEY COULD! GET A LIFE!

I wonder if the woodpeckers are on the list?

Considering the misogyny aspect they probably are.
I'm also guessing the Black Crested Titmouse is in their crosshairs.
It's a twofer!

[PLMerite]

Are these only North American birds? Because if they’re going to use indigenous names from some places in the world, they’d better bone up on their clicks and grunts.

[Vaduz]

The Brits called women birds and Americans call the chicks in the 60’s & 70’s.

People who call bird names racism is why the dodo bird was named.

[Bon of Babble]

I’m sure the name changes will cause a surge of blacks wanting to bird watch now.

[aquila48]

This would make Orwell proud.

[MtnClimber]

Will the Audubon Society have to change their name?

[Diana in Wisconsin]

These dweebs probably snicker after saying, ‘Titmouse.’

was renamed in 2020 after nearly three centuries of being named for Captain John P. McCown, a Confederate soldier...

A bit of arithmetic here. Let's say 'nearly three centuries' means 250 to 300 years. Say 275 years. So the bird was named in 1745 after a Confederate soldier. Way to build your credibility, author!

[bobbo666]

Continue common usage. Tell the ones pushing this a low key F** Off.

Think “kleenex”. A brand name for tissues. When asking for one no one says “Gimme a facial tissue”.
Ignore the ones who demand to control the language.

[17th Miss Regt]

"Tit-willow" from Gilbert and Sullivan's "The Mikado", rewritten to comply with the new less offensive guidelines:

"On a tree by a river a little tom-tit human milk gland,

Sang willow, tit human milk gland willow, tit human milk gland willow!

And I said to him Dicky male member bird why do you sit,

singing willow, tit human milk gland willow, tit human milk gland willow?"

... and so on

[Seruzawa]

S cursory internet search reveals that there are several people named John McCowan over several centuries. Stupid AOS leftists couldn’t even find the right one.

[falcon99]

The insanity of the Left knows no bounds.
