Agree with 109, especially in this case. The word in question was originally derived from the French, where, unable to pronounce it properly, non-French speakers said the word the way we now know it. Furthermore, at the time of Gibson's dog, the word was neither derogatory or insulting, and was in common useage, particularly for such things as the names of pets. If as much time was spent on peace-keeping, medicine, looking after the elderly and so on as is spent on this absolutley F*****g stupid political correctness, then perhaps the world would be a much better place.
