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? |

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 |

"Apparently there is a campaign to have it removed from dictionaries... "
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. "
What more can you tell us ? |
