Someone has come up with the following list of "politically correct" terms for teenagers: *  No one fails a class anymore, he's merely "passing impaired."    *  You don't have detention, you're just one of the "exit delayed."   *  Your bedroom isn't cluttered, it's just "passage restrictive."     *  These days, a student isn't lazy.  He's "energetically declined."    *  Your locker isn't overflowing with junk, it's just "closure  prohibitive."   *  Kids don't get grounded anymore.  They merely hit "social speed bumps."    *  Your homework isn't missing, it's just having an "out-of-notebook     experience."   *  You're not sleeping in class, you're "rationing consciousness."   *  You're not late, you just have a "rescheduled arrival time."    *  You're not having a bad hair day, you're suffering from "rebellious  follicle  syndrome."   *  You don't have smelly gym socks, you have "odor-retentive athletic footwear."      *  You're not shy.  You're "conversationally selective."     *  You weren't passing notes in class.  You were "participating in the     discreet exchange of penned meditations."    *  You're not being sent to the principal's office.  You're "going on a     mandatory field trip to the administrative building."    *  It's not called gossip anymore.  It's "the speedy transmission of     near-factual information."   *  The food at the school cafeteria isn't awful.  It's "digestively     challenged."
