I am not so easily offended by this PC stuff. The Irish have never objected to Notre Dame being called the “Fighting Irish”, which implies that the Irish are naturally violent, or calling police wagons and vans used to incarcerate large numbers of people “paddy wagons”. Personally, I wish the news outlets would stop publishing headlines using “pushes back” for responds, or “claw back” to mean recover. The over use of phrasal verbs is very British, and some of us remember being taught to avoid them when we wrote as the mark of an educated person.
And I particularly dislike “claps back”. Who clapped first?
