Can you really not say "brown" for suntanned anymore?

[Lightsfall]

My friend works for a smallish company.

After a couple of week's leave she returned to work tanned and someone told her she was "brown", meaning it as a compliment.

Boss pulled them to one side and told them you can't be calling people brown, it must be "tanned".

I'm definitely not a PC gone mad type, and try to keep up with changing language, so as not to offend, but I didn't know this one.

😆 that’s my weekends sorted then

Perhaps refer to this to help you out.

Stealing this! Brilliant! You can practically set the clock at what Daily Fail crap some of family will regurgitate each year, now I can check it off. ✅

Baa baa rainbow sheep was not a myth, there were spotty sheep too. They sang it at dc's nursery and Y1 in primary school, and I seem to remember it on at least one tv kiddies sing/dance programme.

The myth was that you had to say it instead of Baa Baa Black Sheep. It was just a way to extend the rhyme into a book.

Ah. How daft.
