A couple of words I have come across recently are new to me:

intersectionality [has something to do with the fem movement]

woke [as in ‘woke’ comedian]

Then, there are the rules changes — such as ‘cultural appropriation’ being bad, whether it is eating a certain food or wearing certain clothing, etc.

Yep, hard to keep up.

I was called out recently for talking of “Orientals” and “American Indians”.

I was also called out from saying something about “homosexuality”.

You can be chastised even if you are not trying to be pejorative.

The modern skew may have started with “gay”. Certainly doesn’t mean what it once did.
