Define Politically Correct Meaning

Politically Correct
What you accuse someone you're arguing of being (especially when they're winning).

Joe: Have you heard about all those goddamned petitions to repeal Don't Ask Don't Tell? Fuggin' pinko commies!
Bob: Why should the gay community's freedom to serve our country be restricted just to appease homophobes?
Joe: ZOMGWTF POLITICALLY CORRECT

Politically Correct
A pejorative term, and straw man for a political movement fabricated by United States conservatives in about 1980 to discredit the liberal cause, and its ideas.

Whether it be any poorly handled incident where a home office minister gets ticked off for using 'nitty-gritty' in a speech, school children brought before judges for playground racial taunts, to reports of doctors reprimanded for not giving men cervical smears, they all propel an instruction of disapproval about 'politically correct madness' and for one purpose: to mock the entire liberal cause in the process. Plain-talking conservatives who yearn for 'common sense and clear thinking debate' would never fall to such liberal follies.

Thus, any environmental campaign, any discussion about global warming, any case of sexual harassment, or any response to racial prejudice, can be portrayed as the irrational exponents of 'political correctness'.

Politically Correct
a pejorative invented by conservatives so they can say whatever the hell they want without reprisal.
Kinda like a "get out of racism free" card. Go ahead and call Justice Sotomayor a spic on national radio, and when you get called out for it, blame the media for being too "politically correct".

"All Jews are good for nothing penny-pinchers! I would know, considering I've met every single one of them. What's that? You say I shouldn't assume things? Rot in hell, you politically correct bastard!"
-Conservative

Politically Correct

Politically Correct
1. The practice of avoiding words or phrases that are associated with stereotypes and unsupported assumptions about groups of people, or that inadvertently reinforce them. See sexism, racism. 2. A term used by conservatives who want to complain when people complain about their sexist, racist or otherwise bigoted remarks, often with the suggestion that the offended person has no right to express their own opinion. See: dog whistle, see: free speech is a two way street.

1. We prefer the term "Native American" instead of "Indian" because it is both historically accurate and shows respect their much longer presence in this country.

2. Female executives are fine, except they all need a really good executive assistant one week a month. If you don't think that's funny, you are just being "politically correct."

Politically Correct
A polite way of telling people to stop being ignorantly rude.

You can't call people niggers because of their color, it's not politically correct.
By Sibylle
Politically Correct
Polite way of asking extremely rude, ignorant, nasty, uneducated people to shut their pieholes-as evidenced on this page alone.

Instead of being gutless pussies who can't find their words, most intelligent people inform the creeps that what they are saying is not "politically correct", rather than just saying STFU.
By Isabelita
Politically Correct
An Idea.

Bob: Wow, Bananas sure are tasty! They're so much better then stupid mangos.

Bill: Bob...Isn't the politically correct thing to say that all fruits are equal?

Bob: Well, i was just trying to state my opinion on how amazing bananas are.

Bill: Your being ignorant Bob! All fruit are equally nutritious and tasty. Some people can find your opinion very offensive and it's not fair for them!

Bob: So what you're saying is i can't express my love for fruit?

Bill: Oh, you can express your love for fruit, but in a safe and nonoffensive way.

Bob: ...

Bill: :)

Bob: You're a jackass

Political Correctness
A concept that is practiced and dominant in the liberal media. It protects only the people of "marginal" groups from being offended so bad. The most minor joke about one of these groups can get you labelled a racist, sexist, bigot, etc., thanks to political correctness.
