For badmouths out there, take a listen to this very carefully…
If you think you are so clever, don’t call me stupid
‘Knowledge-based nonpossessor’ sounds better
If you think you are so committed, don’t call me lazy
‘Motivationally-deficient’ sounds cooler
If you think you are so sane, don’t call me crazy
‘Mentally-challenged’ sounds kinder
If you think you are so tall, don’t call me short
‘Vertically-challenged’ sounds friendlier
If you think you are so rich, don’t call me poor
‘Financially-deprived’ sounds nicer
You see, people do respect each other these days
And you see, people also name each other so courteously
Even those who collect garbage are called ‘sanitary engineers’
Even those who are jobless are called ‘involuntarily-leisured’
Even those who spray insecticide are called ‘pest control officers’
Even those who handle clerical works are called ‘junior executives’
Even those who perform orang gaji thingy are called 'housekeepers'
And even toilets have their own decent positions in our society
(Excuse me bro, now you can rest your intelligence in a restroom)
Now, what would you call this man in a special chair?
Orang Kurang Upaya? OKU?
Come on guys, learn to be more politically correct, more euphemistic, and less discriminatory. I thought Malay language is so full of berlapikness, but OKU?
Come on DBP, get a life!Labels: cekmi's linguistic fever |
