| > Munchausen's syndrome by proxy is called factitious disorder imposed on another now. Honestly, who gives a fuck? Yeah sorry, that may sound a bit harsh... But really, what's this constant renaming of things supposed to be actually good for? The main effects seem to be: 1) Some people get to feel all good and righteous and “with it”, because they know the PC terminology; and 2) The rest of us are A) either annoyed at i) having to learn new shit again, ii) not getting to be in that hip and in crowd, or above all, iii) how smug and pompous those masters of the PC vocabulary come off, intentionally or unintentionally giving the impression that they look down on us peasants... Or B) Just confused as to what the fuck they're talking about. So thank you, I guess, for having taught us – me – this, so I won't look like an ignorant bumpkin next time someone says it... But I would very much have preferred not having to. |
