Which word Tom? Essex or Girls?

In what way would removal of these words affect people from Essex or Girls? Is there a plan to rename Essex or will it be known as the place formerly known as Essex?

Will girls be known as young females or something else?

I need more details Tom.

If it’s Essex that gets removed what are you going to call yourself Tom?... How will we tell all you Toms apart?

There and to the left a bit

The actual story is in the link below - it *has* been removed from *one* dictionary which is aimed at people learning English but: "The term will stay in the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), however, because its publishers claim it is a "historical dictionary", in which "nothing is ever taken out"."

I then find out that there is a movement called Snap the Stiletto who received lottery funding to promote the achievements of women from Essex

Lots of groups with all kinds of worthwhile aims receive lottery funding - that's what it is there for - no problem with that

Well you’re from Essex Tom. Do YOU feel that every woman you’ve met in your county is everything that the term ‘Essex Girl’ is meant to imply?

Isn’t it a little like saying all blondes are dumb, and all guys with 6-packs are vacuous and self obsessed?

It’s just lazy generalisation.

This is old news.

The OED have decided not to include the term in its latest edition because the term is no longer widely enough used.

It was on radio 4 the other day.
