I'm 40 honey, and remember such vocabulary was the norm when I went to school
The irony for me was finding such a book list on a modern website. IMHO political correctness is a pain in the clopper - it's gone way too far. A few years ago, we weren't allowed to refer to black boards or white boards, but had to call them chalk/pen boards. Now we have these new-fangled interactive white boards and suddenly they're called white boards again. wtf?
