It is being used in the Co-op's Easter advert on the radio. It makes me wince each time I hear it.

Am I being far to politically correct?

I'm assuming that the marketing department of the Co-op have not researched the origins of the expression?

Let's just ban the word spoon and egg in the same sentence. That'll sort it.

What about good spoon?

I think semaphore might be the best way forward.

Eminy yes! My DH has a favourite spoon silly sod, I better ban this immediately. When he asks where his "good spoon" is he's in trouble Grin
