No, B**d Isn't a Dirty Word in Britain

In India, our virus-like influenzers discuss and debate about the possible existence of a Shiv ling below a mosque - and of Hindu idols inside a Mughal mausoleum. And what do their counterparts in Britain get their doorknockers in a clang about? Apparently, whether calling a bald man a bald man amounts to sexual harassment. A tribunal in the country that gave us the Japanese-sounding Latin term suo motu (is calling suo 'motu' body-shaming?) in a convoluted judgment made it sound that calling a man a 'bald c**t' - the asterisked word rhyming with 'shunt' - in the workplace is wrong because of the adjective. What it meant was that the rather rude word that doubles as a woman's body part when used as an abuse along with 'bald' is damaging.

The bald man, who complained when a colleague did call him what literally is the final product of a bikini wax, but is used rhetorically as a popular British abuse, was dismissed from his job. It is whether he was wrongfully dismissed that the tribunal decided upon, ordering the company to pay him compensation. Being called bald per se was neither the gist of the gaali nor the cause for 'sexual harassment'. Using it in conjunction with the other word and the dismissal was. But it's got into people's heads that Britain has gone so PC that 'bald' is now a dirty word there. Bom Bholey, these eggheads!
