This thread is for all you Joes out there (as well as Tom, ***, and Harrys) to vent your displeasure with euphemisms containing the word Joe. Such as, 'average Joe' which was mentioned many times in the Ion thread. (I can't believe there is a thread named after a person. It sure gets alot of hits though.)
The following words should be banned from literary textbooks, media outlets, and this forum:
Joe Smoe, any-old-joe, joe-swimmer, big-joe, little-joe, joe camel, any old joe, ordinary joe, joe sex machine (well, that one is OK), joe shopper, regular joe, joe programmer (that's me), etc.
In this day and age of ultra sensitivity and political correctness, I think we all can find another way to describe an average person without using the name Joe. :rolleyes:
Just an average guy with the name Joe
