Maybe I'm the only one who doesn't know this, but in 'Everyone's a little bit racist' from Avenue Q, the lyric "if we all could just admit, that we are racist a little bit, and everyone stop being so PC, maybe we could live in harmony" (the ending lines), what does "PC" mean?

And the other thing about the Phantom Lady was, Bert, she realized, in the city that never sleeps... What did she realize, Kitten? That all the songs she'd listened to, all the love songs, that they were only songs. What's wrong with that? Nothing, if you don't believe in them. But she did, you see. She believed in enchanted evenings, and she believed that a small cloud passed overhead and cried down on a flower bed, and she even believed there was breakfast to be had... Where? On Pluto. The mysterious, icy wastes of Pluto.

the first time i heard that song, I thought they were saying prissy, but then I got the CD and learned otherwise. PC definitely means politically correct.

I heard 'piscine' (the french word for 'pool' lol) and 'conceited' somehow, and neither made sense, so I finally decided to ask lol

that is funny gal. I don't blame you for asking. i often have to ask what certain internet lingo stands for. lol.

"At the opening night party, they had clowns on stilts, jugglers, a chocolate fountain, popcorn, hot dogs. [My son] looked at me like I had been holding back. Like, 'This is what you do?' I had to tell him, 'No, no, darling. Opening nights don't usually look like this.' It's usually a dark bar with a bottle of vodka." ?Chitty Chitty Bang Bang's Jan Maxwell plus i proudly share the title of the shortest member over the age of 10 with wickedrentq!

They obviously went to the Patti LuPone school of diction.

(sighs and longs for the days when performers like Ethel Merman had perfect diction).

If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

I always forget that I am on here with younger people, until I read threads like this. I guess no one remembers the nineties when PC was a common term.

"Do you know what pledge time is, Andrew"? said the PBS Executive. "Yes", Lloyd Webber replied. "My 50th birthday special must be one program that gets done a lot." "No", mused the man from PBS heedlessy. "Not so much. Our Stephen Sondheim Carnegie Hall concert. That's a big one." Spoons, forks and knives seemed suddenly to suspend their motion in horror, all around the table.
