Gingerbread person

For the record I wasn't in the least bit offended by anyone wanting to call it a person. I was a little taken aback at someone being offended by me saying Gingerbread Man.

 

Huh? how did you come to that conclusion from my post? You appear to be personalising and implying that because I consider your views on this topic to be (IMO) OTT I am part of the problem (an example of you targeting the poster rather than responding to the content).
As regards your comment, "Times change. Things change. Language changes" whilst true, language changes occur naturally over time and always have. We no longer speak Shakespearean English..."whither goest thou" as an example, but, of late the changes seem more forced mainly as a result of social media allowing a wider forum for people with agendas to gain traction.
Most people agree that Social Media is both good and bad pretty much in equal measure.

 

Years ago I was working in Dublin I frequented a small back street sandwich shop in the Docklands area. Every day I'd go in and the old woman behind the counter asked me if I wanted a "Ferry Cake". It was 3-4 weeks before I realised she was talking about fairy cakes in a strong accent

 

I'm upset at the microagression he committed against you by the assumption he made in excluding you from the label "young".

 

I went in Gregg's and asked for a "Cornish pasty." I was told I wasn't allowed to call it that anymore and it was now a "Beef and vegetable pasty". I asked why and was told it was because it hadn't been made in Cornwall.

 

I'm offended by the use of the word "son" in person, it should be persibling or peroffspring, please try and do better and check your male white privilege.

 

amen and awomen to that.

 

Yes, and the Mughals enjoyed a bit of widow burning until the British outlawed it, perhaps we should be bringing that back?

 

That's correct. It's a protected name.

Same as some versions of pork pie, like Melton Mowbry etc. It's not a new thing that though.

I blame the French and their champagne

 

Would I be right in thinking that Bakewell Tarts are actually made in Bakewell and Ginger bread people can now come with co ck and balls or a vagina or both? Reason I say both is I wouldn't want to offend any hermaphrodite ginger bread people that might be reading.

 

If I go outside yorkshire what do I ask for when wanting a Yorkshire pudding.
The (ingredients) pudding as in beef and vegetable pasty. ?

 

I'm confused. I think that ginger bread pussy has me in a whip.

 

These 2 articles should cover it to some extent, although a little old.

Although I'm sure that genitalia isn't an issue with a name change from gingerbread men, cos they have never actually put a c ock on it.

Imagine the outrage that would cause.

 

More gingerbread to enjoy. What's not to like.

 

Now you've done It! Someone, somewhere will take offence and want every bible, prayer, hymn and psalm book removing, destroyed and replaced with gender neutral ones with an alternative to amen.

 

It depends on who's made it and how generous they are

 

If they could talk eh? You've bit my knob off you dirty ******* or my clits gone soggy in this brew .

 

Easier to just shop at Tesco’s

 

If you like it then you shoulda put a c ock on it.

 

This will now forever be the lyric in my head
