In current usage, the term is primarily pejorative, while the term politically incorrect has been used as an implicitly positive self-description.>>

Funny… I feel my PC work is fundamentally flawed. I work below the speed of light yet I am still gaining mass.

So if you often slur, say, women, blacks, homosexuals, liberals, blind or deaf people or old people, then you can be proud of yourself for not being politically correct.

Go figure. :?

I'm glad the turtle made it. I'm not so sure about the woodpecker.

<<A Master of Ceremonies (MC or emcee), or Compère, is the official host of a staged event or similar performance. An MC usually presents performers, speaks to the audience, and generally keeps the event moving. An MC may also tell jokes or anecdotes. The MC sometimes also acts as the protocol officer during an official state function. In hip hop music, rock music and electronic dance music, an MC is a music artist and/or performer who usually creates and performs vocals for his/her own original material. The term originates from the Catholic Church. The Master of ceremonies is an official of the Papal Court responsible for the proper and smooth conduct of the elegant and elaborate rituals involving the Pope and the sacred liturgy. The office of the Master of Ceremonies itself is very old. Names of Masters of Ceremonies are known since the late Middle Ages (15th century) and the Renaissance (16th century). The ceremonies and practices of the Byzantine emperors are also known to have influenced the papal court. The accumulation of elaboration and complication since the Renaissance and Baroque eras were carried well into the 20th century until some of the ceremonies (i.e. the court, the rituals and norms) were simplified or completely eliminated by Pope Paul VI in the 1970s after Vatican II; much of the Renaissance pomp and ceremony has been completely abandoned by the popes of the modern era.>>
