Any politically correct word or expression that tries to tip-toe around differences that are obvious to anyone. Like actresses now being called "actors".

Or the head of a committee being called the "chair".
A few years ago there was someone trying to do away with the word 'manager', as it was sexist.

Vacuum, don't know why, it just sucks!
People saying train station instead of railway station.

Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.
