Buy you’re right. They’re not sad to lose the dreaded C-word.
So a couple of weeks ago we found out that the corporate weenies at Gov’t Motors were eliminating the familiar “Chevy” from its lexicon in favor of “Chevrolet.” Now the YMCA is doing to opposite. Of course, as has been pointed out, the real reason is to get rid of the “Christian” word, and probably “Men.”
What is going to happen the Village People song? This is a real mess!
Try YMC.
