PC is back with a vengeance. (did it ever leave the United Kingdom?)

Quote:

Brainstorming for a New Word

The government in Northern Ireland has banned the word "brainstorming" in some workplaces, insisting it could offend those with epilepsy and other brain disorders. Specifically, the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Belfast says it "does not use the term brainstorming ... on the grounds that it may be deemed pejorative." According to London's Guardian newspaper, the department will now use the term "thought-showers" instead.
