Attention Fred Flintstone and the Geico cave guys: "Stone Age" is no longer acceptable, joining the list of other words and terms deemed offensive in polite society.

Before you go along deriding this, how many here would get offended if they were referred to as primitive or their culture as Stone Age? You'd just ignore it, you type?

We would ignore it, because we would not regard it as applying to us, even to the slightest degree, and would regard the speaker as stupid for even suggesting it might.

Much like how the average Chinese person would look upon anybody saying that Chinese people were lazy and stupid

The closer an offending phrase comes to the truth, the more it offends

Oooh, I want one.
