Two very different conotations here, surely you know that.

Anyway, I don't buckle to PC cops.

I don't deal in connotations: I am connotatively-challenged.
Denotations are reliable, have an etymological history with discernable lineage. Connotations too often spring forth fully formed like unto Pallas, having no such roots or development, and quite often absurd meanings too ideosyncratic to take seriously. I shun them.
