z1000jeff Jul 2015 9:50am, 8 Jul 2015 2,262 posts	Quote Pin z1000jeff Rather than 'lipstick on a pig', in this enlightened day and age we should definitely be using the non-sexist overtones idiom, 'Can't polish a turd'.

Firstly we do not know the sex of the pig and everyone is welcome to wear lipstick in this day and age. So actually it is probably super PC. Where as you have gone right in there and had a go at the Polish. :-D
