The headline that was so cleverly snared by the duer in the above thread has now been rejiggered.

1. Thank goodness... that was not so good

3. The Obama campaign should provide a helpful list of words

That can no longer be used in American speech.

4. yes well rejigger was such a common phrase

I am sure that we will all be at a tremendous loss to find a word that might be used in its place.

2. it just seemed like an exceedingly odd term to use

I cannot remember ever seeing it in a news headline before which makes one suspicious of its use :o

5. Recently, a popular golf magazine had a picture of a noose with a feature on Tiger Woods.

"Caught in a Noose". How clever of them.:sarcasm:

7. it's just unbelievable

even if their intentions were not bad, how can their judgement be SO off??? :o

10. IIRC the article was not about Woods but about the TV announcer who had made a racist comment.

It was this commentator that was "Caught in a Noose" of controversy similar to Imus' earlier.

Ah, found something on it

12. The magazine compounded the issue by using the picture of the noose. Heads rolled. (eom)

8. i looked up that word this morning

it seems most of the references were to technical articles..i`m thinking the woman may have never heard that word and had no idea ...well i`m giving her the benefit of doubt

9. And stuff like this is why

we find claims of "Playing the race card" from some camps to be entirely disingenuous. The word has no racial connotations at all. It SOUNDS like another word. Some people can be so niggardly with displays of common sense.

11. This has already been discussed on another thread last night. I wrote the

editor a note and within a few hours they changed the headline. The term can mean making an unethical change or used as a sailing term. I did point out the words similarity to the 'n' word and that some felt it was similar to a race baiting term 'jig'. Again this is old news, they were given the link to our earlier discussion and they rather quickly changed the title. it might be better if this were dropped as the change was made and it further reminds everyone of the rotten politics recently observed.
