We also use the term Master-Slave to refer to a series of amplifiers chained together in a sound system. What do they suggest as an alternative?

"Turd burglar" will also be accepted.

Hehe! That episode of South Park is a brilliant take on the plague of political correctness. Mr. Garrison, an openly gay teacher, wants to get fired, so he puts on displays of increasingly overt sexual perversity (culminating in the classic Lemmiwinks saga) - only to find that every time he ups the ante, his superiors preach more and more about how they have to be "tolerant" of his "lifestyle." When the kids find it bizarre that he has a teacher's assistant named "Mr. Slave" they get sentenced to the "Death Camp of Tolerance." Finally, Garrison gets so frustrated that he snaps at all of his superiors, telling them that there's a fine line between tolerating those with differences and treating the insertion of the class hamster into Mr. Slave's ass as acceptable classroom policy. And for all that Garrison himself is sent to the Tolerance Camp for being "intolerant of the gay lifestyle"! LOL!

Quote: Yes...I believe "butt pirate", "rump ranger", "booty bandit" and "disease ridden Sodomite" are the preferred terms.

I avoid Controversy over "non- PC " words like master and slave by inserting a swear word right before them.

When you tell your boss "I gotta replace a f*@:ing slave in the email server RAID " the PCness of the word "slave " goes right out the window.

In LA County I would think "Master/Slave" would just be part of the alternative sexual lifestyle descriptions and be as welcome a term as hamster and .........
