Politically Correct Terms for Teenagers

 Print

Someone has come up with the following list of "politically correct" terms
for teenagers:

No one fails a class anymore, he´s merely "passing impaired."
You don´t have detention, you´re just one of the "exit delayed."
Your bedroom isn´t cluttered, it´s just "passage restrictive."
These days, a student isn´t lazy.  He´s "energetically declined."
Your locker isn´t overflowing with junk, it´s just "closure prohibitive."
Kids don´t get grounded anymore.  They merely hit "social speed bumps."
Your homework isn´t missing, it´s just having an "out-of-notebook
experience."
You´re not sleeping in class, you´re "rationing consciousness."
You´re not late, you just have a "rescheduled arrival time."
You´re not having a bad hair day, you´re suffering from "rebellious
follicle syndrome."
You´re not shy.  You´re "conversationally selective."
You weren´t passing notes in class.  You were "participating in the
discreet exchange of penned meditations."
You´re not being sent to the principal´s office.  You´re "going on a
mandatory field trip to the administrative building."
It´s not called gossip anymore.  It´s "the speedy transmission of
near-factual information."
The food at the school cafeteria isn´t awful.  It´s "digestively
challenged."
