There is an annual contest
at the University of New Brunswick, Canada,
calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary

This year's term was: "Political Correctness".
The winner wrote:
Political correctness is a doctrine,
fostered by a delusional, illogical minority, and rapidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds
forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick
up a piece of shit by the clean end.
