Re naming birds

[Rodcx500z]

WTF is going on MSN if they re name the blackbird orange bill i will be highly offended as it would remind me of the jso protesters

 

[Chippy_Tea]

More than 100 bird species are set to be renamed by experts because their current monikers could now be considered "offensive" and "exclusionary".

The world has gone mad.

What next changing the title of "Three blind mice" because blind people may be offended.

What about that Stork margarine! I bet those lovely long legged birds associated with baby deliveries and such are horrified to be associated with a hydrogenated,non dairy,sandwich making ,butter alternative.

4 and 20...roooooooks baked in a pie...
There,that's better! Now toddle off and change your nappy.

 

[Clint]

Oh...I'm off to bonny Scotland tomorrow....I shall be having both types of pudding...and haggis.
And just to make you sour beer lovers seethe with anger...a visit to Vault City tap room.

We’ll why not ? They banned midget gems for the same reason

So the rest of the natural world is is up for a shakeup then. Black eyed beans? Puffed wheat? And niger seeds must have been on a slippery slope for a while

How long before they start cancelling human surnames

The name for "niger" seed changed years ago to "nyger".

 

[Chippy_Tea]

The name for "niger" seed changed years ago to "nyger".

Many companies are still using it Clint -

A favourite of Finches, Niger Seed (also known as Nyger Seed or Nyjer Seed) is rich in oil content and highly nutritious. Treat the Goldfinches in your local area to one of their favourite foods.

I hope so...

I'm not sure sour T!ts will end up well

Niger is a region in Africa. The offensive word has 2 gg's so we even have to circumvent illiterate racists
