Have they changed the name of the plant we call ‘Wandering Jew’ yet?

[Rinnwald]

I feel gypped by the whole thing.

No time to care about the moths.
I'm still working on "Squaw Valley" and the "Washington Commanders" ... (offended busybodies are ubiquitous).

Sponge Bob has filed an official complaint.

The scientists who have been working on changing an invasive moth’s common name.

Use numbers can’t go wrong liberal approved.

“…the word “gypsy” has been offensive, dangerous and dehumanizing since it first appeared in the 1500s, “

I’d bet that would depend on who you asked. Leftists are always deciding for everyone else what we are allowed and not allowed to say.

Oh goody. I get to make an opaque cover to use when I reread Cichester’s ‘”Gypsy Moth” Circles the World’ in public.

[TChad]

gypsy is not an ethnic slur.

A few days ago I met my first gypsy. He called himself Romani and tried to con me out of money, so I decided he was a gypsy, and used that word in an FR post. Now I find that I'm RAAACIST for using the word. Imagine my concern!
