"Wog. Spastic. Queer. Nigger. Dwarf. Cripple. Fatty. Gimp. Paki. Mick. Mong. Poof. Coon. Gyppo. You can't really use these words any more and yet, strangely, it is perfectly acceptable for those in the travel and hotel industries to pepper their conversation with the word "beverage".
There are several twee and unnecessary words in the English language. Tasty. Meal. Cuisine. Nourishing. And the biblically awful "gift". I also have a biological aversion to the use of "home" instead of "house". So if you were to ask me round to "your home for a nourishing bowl of pasta" I would almost certainly be sick on you. "
