I'm going to keep calling it the master bedroom, though I'll admit that "primary bedroom" isn't so bad.

Also on the horizon, eliminate the title "Master" throughout the military.

Master Chief, Master Sergeant, Master Gunner Sergeant, Senior Master Sergeant.

TRANSLATION: Either

(a) I am genuinely offended by this term, which means I have the world's thinnest skin and am dumb enough to actually believe somebody meant the term racially when everybody with half a brain knows he plainly didn't,

- OR -

(b) I know that 'Master bedroom' simply means 'bedroom of the person or couple who owns the house and pays the mortgage etc. (derived from "Mister" which in turn is derived from "Master", hence the term)... but I'm afraid that somebody else might have the world's thinnest skin and might raise a fuss and I might get my name mentioned negatively in some social media sewer I'm unhealthily addicted to and I don't want anybody calling me a raaacist even though I don't mind calling others that as long as I can do it anonymously.

Either way, I'm a miserable specimen of humanity without the courage to stand up for what's right, trembling and whining that somebody somewhere might be offended somehow and that governs my entire life now.

Jeannie was cute. Samantha was very cute, and smart to boot. Mindy and Maryanne were both very very cute. Ginger, Lisa, Winifred, and Lana weren't.

Being offended is a choice. Feigning victimhood is often a manipulation to gain attention, sympathy or power.
