Air Force troops have been warned not to use certain words and phrases because they might be deemed offensive. An email saying that certain words such as “boy,” “girl,” and “blackmail” should not be used was sent to Airmen at Joint Base San Antonio Texas, the Daily Mail reported.
The email included an attachment with a list of words that “may be construed as offensive.”
“You people” also made the list, as well as “colonial,” “blacklist,” and the phrase “blondes have more fun.”
Someone leaked the list to Fox News, where it gained national media attention.
According to Fox News, the list did contain some genuinely offensive phrases, but commonly said phrases peppered the list as well.
A senior Air Force leader wrote the email and sent it to Airmen at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio. It is unclear how many personnel received the email.

Lol- you’re right.
In which case, cashier the generals involved for being too PC to be compatible with their Commander in Chief.
If it were up to me, that General would be toast.
Active Duty ping.
At least “F*ck it” and “close enough for government work” are still allowed.
What's "it's" name? Too chicken shit to say?
Well, I for one am very glad we finally got rid of that BOY in the White House
Boy howdy I love girls.
That HAS to go, forgot COMPLETELY about that one!!! Ixnay to “Hey buddy, slow down, you drive like a Chinaman!” (Is Pig Latin offensive to Muslims? Better cut that out too). The Air Force Academy has an astronomy club, so the color of the night sky has to be changed, and what’s another word for the now-offensive “black hole”? /sarcasm;)
