Soon everything will be derogatory
From "Tongue Tied":
Ananova says there’s a group in Holland that wants to ban the word 'thin' from the dictionary because it's insulting to underweight people.
The group, called Small Intestines Anonymous, claims to represent people who struggle to put on weight. It says the word 'thin' is a term of abuse used by 'fat over-rulers' to put down slender people.
The organization wrote to a Dutch dictionary publisher demanding that it omit the word from reference books and plans to present a 3,000-name petition on the topic to the Dutch Minister of Education, Culture and Sciences.
