BRAINSTORMING GETS
BANNED IN IRELAND!
But how about a nice, refreshing, “Thought Shower” instead?
The Observer reports officials in Belfast have added “brainstorming” to their list of banned words, for fear it will prove perjorative to people with epilepsy, brain tumors, or other mental maladies.

The Irish go ban the word “Brainstormin'”
Flush with their new power
They stare at walls by the hour
With no ideas, their brains just go dormant
