The following is the 2007 winning entry from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.
This year's term: "Political Correctness"


"Political Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."


I do apologise for the mild crudity [twice in quick succession] and do offer keen thanks to my pal Stanley Parr for providing me with this gem.
