I agree with you stompe. So long as no one's actually hurling an insult in a nasty way, people should stop being so sensitive and say what they like. Has no one ever heard of "sticks and stones..." anyway? I used to sing Baa Baa Black Sheep to my children when they were little, and no one would've stopped me. It was a about a black sheep, for goodness sake - not a white one, not a purple one, but a black one. When I was young, I also had a golly - called by the full name. I never gave a thought to it being a derisory name, and neither would anyone else until the PC brigade stepped in.
