오늘자 <배철수의 음악캠프>를 듣는데, 오프닝에 politically correct terms 이야기가 나왔어.
오프닝에서 소개된 어휘를 몇 가지 소개하자면 이렇지.
fat -> horizontally gifted
뚱뚱한 -> 수평적으로 축복받은
bald -> comb-free
대머리 -> 빗이 필요없는
Blind -> visually challenged
뵈는 게 없는 -> 시각적으로 도전받는(?)
Stupid -> differently-brained
머저리 -> 다른 뇌구조를 지닌(?)
차별적 언어사용을 자제하자는 뜻으로 미국에서 politically correct(PC) 단어들이 나오는 데 몇 가지만
네이년 지식인 따서 카피 앤 페이스트 해보면 이럼.
미국놈년들두 다들 쓰진 않겠지만 토플 리딩에는 간간히 나오는 단어들이니까 슬쩍 스캐닝이나 해보려무나
