Maybe it's because I'm a foreigner; maybe I'm also too disconnected, but I didn't get half of the supposed contentious items listed in this post.
Reading the comments, I was like, 'oh, that's what they meant by...'. The body count really surprised me, and in a negative way. Body count sounds so... tasteless. But who cares. Since I don't use that expression, I'll probably forget it soon (the good side of having a lousy memory).
It is. Definitely not something I'd include under "modern discourse". I'd say a co-worker asking that and using that particular term is the one that's disconnected from the present.
