My Dad lost his leg in a motorcycle accident when he was in his teens.
A couple of years ago he was watching some medical documentary where the term amputee was considered negative and it was thought that people who had lost limbs would be offended or annoyed by it and so they made up this politically correct term where instead of focusing on the lost limb they'd concentrate on the remaining ones, so any amputee would be known as being 'Tri-limbed'.
He thought it was a bad joke.
