We got a memo at work that describes all the industry standard words that can be found offensive and their preferred alternative.

Well I'm fired on Monday. I produce redlines for my staff daily and use that word numerous times a week. Man door as well. I'm a building engineer in an architectural and engineering firm.

Can you imagine producing a sewer design with a bunch of "maintenance holes" called out? You would be laughed out of the room.

I’m all in for craft, manholes, and redlining. Hopefully I’m grandfathered in! Geeze I hope I can retire before this world gets any stupider!

What kind of snake is biting Maxwell's neck?
Funniest visual pun I ever saw on TV was when 86 and 99 escaped from Chaos in a greenhouse by dumping manure into the giant ventilator fan. Wait for it. . .

We still use master/slave regularly on chillers/boilers, I'm surprised that that hasn't changed yet.
Keep on

Yep, same at the power plant, we use male/female all the time for fittings, "they/them" just doesn't convey the same meaning.

Lochinvar has now labeled them as "Leader/follower". FFS

Jesus, I never even thought about male/female. I may never retire just so I can watch the sh!×show unfold

Don't know if this fits here, but I'll try. May not be that funny.
Yesterday, my wife and I are on the overpass on Jackrabbit Lane in Belgrade, waiting for the light to turn green and get onto I- 90 west towards Butte. My wife (driving) says "looks like we could be the recipients of some rifles if that Sequoia two cars ahead doesn't put up their back window" Looks like it was fully open so their bird dog could get fresh air? It was also stacked to the ceiling with long gun cases.
Light turns green, Toyota takes off, two rifle cases hit the ground and small car in front of us runs them both over. One soft case, one plastic case. I hoped out and picked them up- they were heavy as they clearly had firearms in them. All rush hour traffic has stopped now as the driver is stopped in middle of on ramp to come collect their guns in the middle of the intersection.
The man and woman put their guns back in, roll up their back window, and merge onto I-90 westbound.
Ouch.
