To my knowledge you were the one to raise the strawman of 'political
correctness' in this discussion. Perhaps I missed an earlier post
where the pitchfork-armed mob was storming the castle of historical
accuracy because someone was inordinately offended by medieval
terminology.

You can continue to raise further strawmen as you are doing here, but
I doubt very much too many people will fall for them. We gave you your
one; that's enough.

Then use the term 'boffer'.

Anything else I can help you with?
