I agree that "politcal correctness" can be taken too far and that sometimes a healthy sense of humor is the best antidote. Hooters - a fine old euphemism and a mediocre eatery. This is America and we can't very well go around using the V word, might frighten the children. But, "beefcurtains," yuck, dude, that's just wrong. Not only is it not PC, it's not even appetising. Whatever happened to the classics like Quim? Now there's a euphemism.
