Yes, we should. Using the racist term “blackboards” does nothing but perpetuate archaic notions of Anglo-Saxon supremacy over the other races of the earth.
I am suing Transam, Transworld Airlines, the Trans-Siberian Railroad . . .
Ah, so those English people need to stop smoking fags then?
That depends. Is it a SCSI drive?
That’s dry-erase board to you, buddy.
I stopped smoking them years ago, so I care very little; as for faggots* though, well, you can have them when you pry them out of my warm, gravy-covered hand.
*[sup]Yes, Faggots really are a type of meatball served in a rich gravy, yes, the most popular brand is Mr Brain’s, no they do not contain actual brains.[/sup]
On the one hand, I had a moment of discomfort the other day explaining to a co-worker who happens to be a gentleman of color the master-slave relationship between two switches.
On the other hand, I recall a moment when our foreman was sitting with the ladies in accounting while he spoke with a die maker about some modifications he needed, “Spread the legs and rip the tits off!” It took a conscious effort for us to stop calling tits (in an extrusion sense) “small protrusions used for identification.”
Aw, go back to Transylvania!
Mmm… faggots…

There’s no such thing as a slave SCSI drive, silly.
Are you referring to the brake and clutch European Oppresor Cylinders and the clutch Hydraulo-American Cylinder?
I wait in terror for those suffering from erectile-dysfuction to make an issue over the floppy drive.
So, you’re saying that a whiteboard is superior to a blackboard?
RACIST!!!
People’s political opinions are far too often, I’ve found, driven by emotion and habit. Seldom have I found a way to convince people to switch parties by the force of sweet reason alone.
But I have to admit that stories like this have a pleasant silver lining. I was talking with a relative some time ago who was a lifelong Democrat. She was complaining about a similar story - dont’ remember exactly what is was, just another PC-craziness story. I asked her: “Just out of curiosity – do you think the Democrats or the Republicans are more responsible for zany stuff like this?”
Found out that she voted Republican in 2002, apparently in part because she remembered my question.

Good, so we can blame her for Bush.
Or maybe we can blame you, because it was your question.
So call them Primary and Secondary then if PC dolts are so easely offended.
The problem there is that those terms are already being used for the primary and secondary IDE channels, each of which can have one master and one slave drive. If we go with your suggestion, we’ll have the primary primary, primary secondary, secondary primary and secondary secondary drives. Some people are confused enough as it is.
Careful, there are already Primary and Secondary IDE channels (each of which can currently support a Master and Slave drive). So you’d have the Primary Primary, the Primary Secondary, the Secondary Primary and the Secondary Secondary.
Personally, I’ve just give anyone who complains about the current naming a hearty “fuck you”.

I’ll put in a vote for “Master” and “kajira” drives myself
Which brings a whole new meaning to “branded goods”.
Look one post above yours, Bubba.
