I vote to end this whole debate, and slap these people across the forehead who take these words that aren't offensive at all except in their eyes, and turn them into some candy coated childinsh word that they are capable of stomaching, words that won't hurt their dainty little ears...

Words like stewardess changing to flight attendant... Like it really matters...

It only matters when the context of the word is used in the derogetory sense...

‘There is a condition in battle, most people know about it, it’s when your nervous has been stressed to its absolute peak and you can’t take anymore. In World War I, that condition was known as “shellshock.” A nice, direct word…two syllables. In World War II, that very same condition was known as “battle fatigue.” Four syllables, takes a little longer to say, doesn’t seem to hurt as much. Then we had the war in Korea and the same exact condition was called “operational exhaustion.” Hey, we’re up to eight syllables now, and the humanity has been completely drained out of the condition, rendering it sterile. Finally, we came to the war in Vietnam and thanks to the lies and deceit surrounding that war, it’s not surprising that the very same condition was called “post-traumatic stress disorder.” Still eight syllables, but we’ve added a hyphen. I’ll bet you if we had still been calling it “shellshock,” some of those Vietnam veterans would have gotten the help they needed at the time.’

People need to stop focusing on going around their problems and face them head on. If you have a problem with what someone said to you, SAY something back. Tell them what's on your mind, don't try to manipulate everyone else into using your 'rated G' words, because where there is a, "making love," you can be rest assured, that somewhere nearby, someone is saying the word FUCK.
