Google Bans UK Staff From Saying 'Man Hours', 'Blacklist' and more

WOKE Google bosses have asked UK staff not to use a host of traditional terms — including “man hours”.

“Blackhole”, “blacklist”, “black box” — IT lingo for testing software without prior knowledge — and “whitelist” are barred in the inclusive language edict.

Also outlawed are “chubby”, references to data as “crazy”, “bonkers” or “mad” or “dummy variable” — a frequently seen label in software coding.

Of “you guys”, the document implores: “When referring to a group of people, use non-gendered language such as everyone or folks.”

Tory MP Nigel Mills blasted: “This is just woke nonsense. I don’t know where people find the time to come up with this sort of thing.
