Scout leaders have banned the terms “falling on deaf ears”, “man-made” and “dinner ladies” so as not to hurt anyone's feelings. A new style guide also outlaws “maiden name” and “Christian name”.
It comes as reports suggest the SAS has advised soldiers to avoid using nicknames such as “Doris”, “Ruperts” and “Crabs” over fears they could be deemed offensive.
Soldiers have now been urged to stop calling female personnel “Doris”, while calling officers “Ruperts” is also being banned.
The nicknames have been defended by some within the SAS, with one person describing them as “banter”.
In 2017, Scout leaders were told to stop calling kids “boys” and “girls” - and use phrases such as “hello everybody” instead.
The Scouts said: “Every year Scouts takes a census of membership. This information is vital for supporting members.
"The census asks for the same questions no matter what your age.”
