I think we should make a list of commonly used phrases in the media and what they really mean. A lot of these are tricks to make things more palatable to the general public:
- Undocumented Immigrant = Illegal immigrant
- Pro-Choice = Pro Abortion
- Happy Holidays = I'm too much of a pussy to say Happy Christmas. Non-Christians are NOT offended by Happy Christmas
- Plant Based = Vegetarian/Vegan. I'm sure that a lot of you guys have seen the push for vegetarianism over meat eating. A lot of people don't like what's associated with vegan
- Climate Change = Global Warming
- Marriage Equality = Gay Marriage.
- Partner = I'm too much of a pussy to say boyfriend/girlfriend.

Good idea for a thread.
Re: the bolded. It should read:
Quote:Quote:
Undocumented Immigrant = Illegal Alien
That's what we called these refugees back in the 90's.
Aliens are a foreign nationals who aren't US citizens. An immigrant is an alien who has been granted the right to work and live in the US. These people don't have the lawful right to work here so they're not immigrants.
These are actual definitions from the government.

Actually,
"Xmas, and variants such as Xtemass, originated as handwriting abbreviations for the typical pronunciation /ˈkrɪsməs/. The "X" comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word Christós (Χριστός), which became Christ in English"
"The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) and the OED Supplement have cited usages of "X-" or "Xp-" for "Christ-" as early as 1485. The terms "Xtian" and less commonly "Xpian" have also been used for "Christian". The OED further cites usage of "Xtianity" for "Christianity" from 1634.[1] According to Merriam-Webster's Dictionary of English Usage, most of the evidence for these words comes from "educated Englishmen who knew their Greek""

Old school version of this thread is Ambrose Bierce's
Devil's Dictionary:

PROPERTY, n. Any material thing, having no particular value, that may be held by A against the cupidity of B. Whatever gratifies the passion for possession in one and disappoints it in all others. The object of man's brief rapacity and long indifference.

The UK has a twist on this - when minorities are involved, all news stories will be in passive language, ie "Girl, 13, raped in park", "Parents mourn their beautiful murdered daughter" etc.
All about playing up sympathy for the victim and hitting the emotional buttons, but no mention of the attacker or any identifying features.
