Well, there you go. I wasn't so far off then even at 3am.

a body of liberal or radical opinion, esp. on social matters, characterized by the advocacy of approved causes or views.

When I read the original story, it had seemed to me that the decision to accommodate multiculturalism was going too far when tribunals were being set up, and Muslim women themselves felt threatened. PC is a term that we perhaps do use rather loosely and even derogatorily. Although in this case, I was using it not nastily ( because you KNOW I am never that) but because I DO think it can be applied to those things that start going beyond common sense in an excessive effort to be accommodating-- and this appeared to me to be one case.

And now I am done with PC and will never ever use those words again.
