M&S may cause my Midget to be cancelled!

[Vanin]

M&S have just had to rename their “Midget Gems” after a disability campaigner claimed that the name was a form of hate speech and could offend those with dwarfism. They have been rebranded as “Mini Gems” but I cannot really call my MG a Mini can I?
Any suggestions?

Bridget. Everybody over a certain age will understand. (Especially if it's blue )

People of a certain scumbag status may know of a Gidget The Midget (google at work it'll be fine)

[Keep it stiff]

How about MGD (D for dwarf!)

Actually the T has fallen off on one side and I could take the one off the other side and it would be an “MG Midge”
Perhaps it would offend some insect lover!

dirty Sprite - Dictionary.com

Dirty Sprite is one of several slang terms used in hip-hop culture to describe a concoction of prescription cough medicine and clear soda, whose abuse has been linked to deaths. One distinction held by dirty Sprite is that it may include benzodiazepines or "benzos" like Xanax. These additives increase the drink's potency or "dirtiness."

Think I will stick with Midge!

If I worked for M and S that’s what I’d do, just to avoid any trouble in the staff car park!

A dear friend had three cars in the family, affectionately named Tilley, Tonka and Tiffany. There was at the time an Astra special called Tiffany, so I bought a badge and gave her to put on one of the cars. She sent me a photo some months later. Some oik had carefully removed the TIF............

If M&S had just moved them to a higher shelf there'd have been no offence caused

Why would she be embarrassed? I could understand it with 2 n's but otherwise, nah...

All of my Morrises could offend people under the age of 18. Time to cash in before the masses wake up!

Hmmm
So Spitfires would offend Germans presumably
