Obviously the United Kingdom has nothing better to do with their time than come up with another list of words they find "offensive", as you can see, here:
"The National Gallery in London believes that the phrase 'gentleman’s agreement' is potentially offensive to women and suggests that staff should replace it with 'unwritten agreement' or 'an agreement based on trust' instead. The term 'right-hand man' is also considered taboo by the gallery, with 'second in command' being deemed more suitable....Advice issued by the South West Regional Development Agency states: “Terms such as ‘black sheep of the family’, ‘black looks’ and ‘black mark’ have no direct link to skin colour but potentially serve to reinforce a negative view of all things black." Enough already!
