Can’t Say Midget Anymore

Thursday, 20 August 2015, 21:45 BFH Uncategorized 40

I think this ruling came out after I called Eddie Gaedele a midget yesterday.

FreeBeacon-

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) issued a regulation on Thursday to stop referring to midget raisins as “midget” after an activist group called the term offensive.

So, we no longer will have-

Midget car racing

The MG Midget

Anyone named Midge

Midget submarines

The Midgetman Missile

And saddest of all, no more Midget Elvis –hqdefault

  6. Midget car racing, midget submarine,..etc, these are adjectives.
    “Look at the midget.” -wrong.
    “Look at the midget person.” -right, but to midgets (noun), it’s offensive. They want to be called small people which is just 2 words that describe a midget.

    I never understood it either.

  7. There’s always jumbo shrimp but that’s an oxymoron. Dwarves, munchkins, little people, half pints, hobbits, leprechauns (only if you’re Irish), etc. next to be removed from the lexicon. Of course you’ve heard the joke about the little fortune teller who escaped from jail, they’re looking for a small medium at large.

  15. I’m offended by activist groups altering language usage.

    It’s tyranny.

    Make them stop!

    We need a movement. I bet a lot of people would join.

    Crank up the meme machine! Release the nouns!

  17. Reminds me of Kentucky Fried Movie where dude approaches the bloods and yells…”nigger, nigger, nigger.” Only now in the sequel he yells ” midget, midget, midget” and hilarity ensues.

  18. Darn and I very much wanted to call Fred Upton a mental midget. The asshole just declared that the house GOP has given up on the Keystone pipeline and won’t try for a vote. He also said that he has been very bipartisan in kissing DemoRAT asses and helped them to pass a large amount of their legislation and wants! Even tho the house sits at 15% popularity he is not concerned about that at all. He wants to make B. Hussein Obama happy and successful. The blithering, worthless GOPe dickheads wonder why the Donald is so popular!

  22. So… this was a raisin activist group? or a human one? What is offensive is the Department of Agriculture wasting time and money even considering this. The word midget was being used to describe RAISINS not people – how can this be offensive?

  27. Someone’s BIL or nephew needed the contract for re-doing all the fedgov mandatory signage, new regulation books and directives. Good grief, where have you been!

  29. How ridiculous. In a couple of years whatever word replaces midget will be fully embedded in the lingo in exactly the same way.

    For example: “What are you, retarded?” and “The patient is a 12-year-old retarded female…” are both not “allowed.” You have to say “mentally challenged,” and that’s exactly what people say. So now when people fight and use insults they say things like, “What are you, mentally challenged?”

    It doesn’t matter how many times words are discarded; the new ones will always be used in the same way the old ones were.

  37. These are the same humorless assholes who put a Fatwah out on Randy Newman for penning “Short People” back in the seventies.

    Easy! That’s a mighty big chip for such a little man to be carying around”.

  40. BTW, do NOT under any circumstances, google “Gidget the Midget” to see if I’m kidding — cause there’s a fairly good chance that I’m ..ummm … not.
