The buzzword ‘brainstorming’ is off the list of phrases deemed acceptable to for civil servants in Northern Ireland to use because it is said to be demeaning to people with brain disorders, according to the Observer.

Staff at the Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment in Belfast will from now on be using the term 'thought-showers' when they get together to think creatively.

Sources inside the department tell the paper that there was concern that the term brainstorming would offend people with epilepsy as well those with brain tumors or brain injuries.

A spokesman for the Campaign for Plain English said such edicts have “reached the point of real ridicule.”

'You do sometimes wonder if some people haven't got anything better to do with their time,' said John Wild.

Most European countries are in the EEC,and they issue crazy edicts on a regular basis.
This is a typical example.

... what was wrong with "thought baths" ... concept waves? perceptive tornadoes? inspirational tsunamis?

Political correctness is the language of cowardice. These pansies have nothing better to do than think up new sh*t because they have some unfounded belief that a word which has been used for decades will somehow start to cause offence. ****'em all I say! Hahahahahahahaha!!!
