LEHI, Utah — The Lehi City Council recently approved a request to change the name of one of its roads, and the reason might be a sexual connotation. The city council unanimously approved the renaming of Morning Glory Road to Morning Vista Road in a December 11 meeting. The name change was requested by a company called Xactware, who is constructing a new building on the street. Lehi City Council meeting notessay that the company requested the name change to fit with their "International Corporate image." In article from the Daily Herald, Lehi Councilman Mark Johnson says the company was concerned about the term "morning glory" and its association with one of its unofficial definitions. "Morning glory," as defined by the Urban Dictionary, has a sexual connotation. The Urban Dictionary's definition is a crude description of an actual medical phenomenon called nocturnal penile tumescence (NPT).
This is yet another farce by politically correct perpetually offended corporate zampolits. There has to be some sexual demeaning, racially oppressive, or some other off the wall meaning in everything. Dog whistles, anyone? If one hears the whistle, then that person must be a dog. And it always turns out to be some zampolit.
I was working in an engineering office with one process engineer who worked up a good model for testing out a control scheme for a distallation column that looked like a real bear to work with. The engineer was originally from the Soviet Union, where engineers typically have an excellent math foundation, and this model was really good. So I thanked him in his native tongue: “Bolshoi spasi bo!” Translates literally to something like “Big thank you”. An offended third party tyoe passed by, complained that I said “bull(bleep) spastic boy”. I nearly got fired over that.
And some wouldn’t know a petunia from an NPT (o:
And a Happy New Year to you, Tork!
Holy hell, that’s one big a$$ vista!
A.k.a. Morning Missile.
Special K is a drug too, but they didn’t ban the cereal. Yet.
They probably already banned all “dic”-tionaries.
Let’s street name a special kind of homo ritual Obama, and see if we can get it permanently banned from the world lexicon!
Oh, wait...
My new years revolution is to have one of your kids fix my FR connection so I can post here again and enjoy doing it. All is fine here as I head into my 80th year. (remember back in 33 when they told my mother I wouldn’t see 15)?
They shoulda changed it to Blue Waffle instead.
Shows how much I know, before reading article, I though Lehi was the name changed because of some sexual connotation.
After reading, I find out that it's Morning Glory.
Damn, still in the dark about this PC BS crap.
" I Obama on your precious Bill of Rights, you crazy Neanderthals."
Double damn, I thought NPT stood for National Pipe Thread, the tapered thread used on plumbing fittings and pipe.
Cajun doesn't get out enough.
Is there anything to which the Urban Dicktionary DOESN’T give a vulgar, sexual, and/or disgusting definition?
I’m sure they were just worried that the company was thinking about re locating to Toquerville
It seems that Mr. Johnson should give up his home boy dictionary far a Websters, he’d prolly sleep better at night...
I pnly knew it was a flower
I thought I was up on this stuff...pun intended, but I’ve never heard this before.
