4. The university language guide says that ‘grandpa’, ‘cleaning’, ‘spirit animal’ are ‘troublesome’ words
The Department of Information Technology at the University of Washington published an “inclusive language guide,” which lists a number of “problem words” that are “racist,” “sexist,” “ageist,” or “homophobic.”
Words like “grandpa,” “housekeeping,” “minority,” “ninja,” and “lame” are considered “problem words,” according to the guide.
The guidance states that the word “lame” is considered problematic because it is “capable.”
“This word is offensive, even when used in slang to mean not great because it’s using a disability in a negative way to imply that otherwise, that it wouldn’t be lame, it’s superior,” the guide states.
