The Court Of Master Sommeliers Will No Longer Use The Word 'Master' When Referring To People [Let Us Eliminate 'Master' to Soothe the WOKE!]

The Court of Master Sommeliers is getting rid of the word "master" in common practice. It's typical for master sommeliers to be referred to as "Master" followed by their last name, but the prestigious wine organization is changing that in an attempt to make the wine industry more inclusive.

>>> How many other 'masters' need to be eliminated to satisfy these purblind fanatics?

How about the "GrandMaster" in chess? That's the master of all masters.

Are they going to get rid of the word “mister” too? Cuz that’s where mister came from.

Or “Master of Ceremony”? There are over four hundred words that end in ‘son’ and almost the same that end in ‘man’ - good luck with all those. LOL

Well ya just gotta admire ignorance when ya see it if that happens, you see my screen name is based on my dog a cross between an English Mastiff and an American Field Lab and the cross is known as a Mastador not a Masterdoor, Massahdoor or anything else. And I will be more than happy to laugh in the face of anyone that tries to make it so.

And just to be clear, my sarcasm detector is not broken and I know the Shirley you jest.

MOB, would that be an acronym for Most Obnoxious Blacks?

Well, thanks for clearing that up!

" MOB, would that be an acronym for Most Obnoxious Blacks?

Not necessarily, given the whiteness of Antifa in general. Could be Bastards, Bitches, Bangers etc.

#19. How many times have we told you, when on a boat, don’t play with your “Bait” or you will never become a “Master Baiter”.

#67 and the type of dog you have, part Mastiff (oh we can play with that, can’t we but we will have to keep a stiff upper lip).

We will have to rewrite the history of life in the Ice Age. No more Mastadons, a word made up of two types of superior beings, Masters and Dons (No Don Quervo, Don Ameche, Don Brando, Masters Golf).

Oh the horror of it!!!

Yep - then soon to be banned, words like maven/expert/teacher because they indicate someone may have mastered a topic...

Asked and answered:

SES1066 to SkyDancer Does that include master/slave in computers?

That train left the station YEARS AGO. Los Angeles County banned this use in 2003 as offensive. Personally, I find their tolerance acceptance to be quite niggardly, but I won't say that out loud anywhere!

KittyKares - I was being rhetorical.

Master bedroom has been changed to Primary bedroom.

Master mechanic?
Mastercard?
The Master’s golf tournament?

Is it going to be changed to the “M” word?

The movie "Idiocracy" is prophetic.

There seems to be an endless supply of things to be offended by — especially if one gets special attention for being offended.

Just fired up my dad’s desktop PC and in the starting page it does say master/slave since he has two hard drives.

So, the obvious solution is to take a sledge hammer to the master and that will free the slaves, right? /sarc
