Political correctness is politeness taken to such ridiculous extremes you can't say anything for fear of offending someone. [You can imagine how House feels about that. You can also imagine that he's never played the PC game.] There aren't any actual police. That's just what we call the people who complain when they don't like what you're saying.


So you wouldn't say anything if I named him Gidget? [You may not recognize the name, Maggie, but you surely recognize how silly it sounds. And of course you'd judge House for it.]
