"There's a gentleman's agreement among language masterminds at some public agencies in Britain that writing this sentence would put a black mark on your record.
Dozens of taxpayer-funded organizations have ordered workers not to use certain common terms because they might offend some people, according to London newspapers. The National Gallery warned that "gentleman's agreement" is sexist. The same goes for "right-hand man." (Could that be seen as a slap at southpaws, too?)
Britain's South West Regional Development Agency is among those trying to rub out "black mark," "black sheep" and other phrases that cast black in a negative light. Skills should be "perfected," not "mastered," according to the Learning and Skills Council. Newcastle University even has a problem with "master bedroom," The Sunday Times of London reported."

No this is totally serious! We lost "black board" years ago. We still have "white board" however.

Next it will be Dr Who's arch-villain The Master! Clearly sexist.

Blackboards and white chalk - makes sense to me.

It's those damned erasers I have a problem with!

Just wait till they start on chess.

As of now - I will be known as Duncan Head

Duncan 'Honky Cracker' Head

It all happened when a small business decided to try it's hand at race relations by holding an occasional special day where the focus would be on the culture of black people. They called it a "Black Day". It went so well that it became an annual event. Now, more than 30 years latter, they are being forced to changed the name of the event. According to government fiat it is now known as "Misery Day".

.... recently redacted note from spoof chess match between MW and Skoob:


"Black Knight takes White Queen's pawn, threatens Bishop G. Brown......."

That was a game ending 'triple play' as we would say in the states....
