I heard on the radio today here in the land of fruits and nuts that the California Real Estate Association is eliminating the term Master Bedroom due to the obvious racist connotations. Not the largest bedroom with an ensuite bathroom will be referred to the Primary room. Really? Who sits around all day dreaming up ways to be offended anyway? I have my suspicions but if I posted them with the appropriate adjectives I might be banned from the internet.
In aviation maintenance there are a couple of terms that have been eliminated.
It is no longer preferred to refer to the brake system as having a Master Cylinder and Slave cylinders. Also one generally no longer refers the framing that holds parts in place during repair or fabrication as Jigs. We refer to them as fixtures. Now these I can understand but it is getting pretty ridiculous.
