Subject: offending idioms



I am preparing a lecture on cultural sensitivity and language and

wonder if anyone can help me think of examples of idioms that are

insensitive to ethnic origin, religion, race, gender, etc. I've

thought of a few - Indian giver, Jewed him down, More bang for the

buck. Anyone think of any more - or suggest where I might find some?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Judy
