"brainstorming" replaced it with "thought showers"

A british council has banned the word brainstorming, reports the telegraph:

Tunbridge Wells Borough Council in Kent was accused of taking political
correctness to extremes after instructing staff to make the change.

The move came as council chiefs feared the word brainstorming might offend
mentally ill people and those with epilepsy.



Never mind that no-one actually thought that the term was offensive. The council, no doubt thought that the idea was doubleplusgood.
