I don't even remember what the "C" word was, much less was I offended by it. That situation does show that we sometimes just don't know what will offend people, maybe because, as in my case, I might not know the origin of an expression or what a word means. I certainly hope people will let me know whenever I say something inappropriate! I try to be PC.

Have you folks noticed that it's evidently still PC to use derogatory terms for us folks with mental illness? For example, I play games on other Internet sites that require recognizing words (such as Letter Linker). It allows words like "loony," but not "gays." (I'm curious, then, for anyone who would like to answer, is "gays" not considered okay? Thanks! )
