Sorry to interrupt the very entertaining recent phenomenon of hijacking every thread having to do with AA (or money in general), into a theoretical discussion comparing the excesses of the practice of bad capitalism, versus government intervention or redistribution (or whatever other suggestions put forth), but I've got an important question:
It's come to my attention that someone has proposed a new term for our Airtran-born, but-soon-to-be-Southwest, brethren, to replace (or at least augment) the term sometimes considered insulting or a perjorative, "Tranny." Obviously, since political correctness is the most important factor in the world these days, someone (not me) came up with "Citroid."
At first, it sorta' reminded me of a fruit-flavored, curiously strong mint or something, but lately it's started to grow on me. What say you guys? I'm especially curious to hear the opinion of that really mad guy (I forget his name), who was gonna' go all Rambo on anyone who used the old term.
Comments, my Airtran brothers?
