If Beaver was a little kid today, June would probably try to mold him to speak correctly, in modern times. For instance:

Ward (asking 7-3/4 years old Beaver): What would you like to do when you grow up?

Beaver: I wanna be a fireman!

June: Beaver, honey, say it this way: You want to be a firefighter.

Beaver: You wanna be a firefighter. (pauses.) You do?

or:

Beaver: Wally, it's MY typewriter now! It was broke and Gus fixed it for me. You're and Indian giver!

June enters: Beaver, I heard that. The correct wording is, Native American giver.

Beaver: Well, all I know is, he wants it back, and it's mine now!

I’m surprised they haven’t edited out anything that is unacceptable today like Indian asker, gyp etc. A good example is that old Christmas song, Baby it’s Cold Outside. Someone decided it has sexual overtones pressuring a woman to give in to his arms and hands but if they banned that what about all those R-rated movies. Jeeez what next?

Penny: I want to marry a rich doctor, Miss Landers.

Landers: It's Ms. Landers, and you don't need to marry anybody, rich or otherwise.

Beaver: I'll take Miss Landers' arm, even though it doesn't have any clothes on it, and escort her to the patio.

June: Beaver, call her Ms. Landers, and she can walk to the patio without your help.

(15 minutes later)

Gilbert, from tree: Ya mean she might smoke? I'll pay to see that!

Whitey: I wished I wasn't here.

June comes out to save the day: Gilbert, no one smokes on this property. Ms. Landers will be right out to see why you boys are in the tree.

(Just heard about this kind of insanity on the news)

Wally, to Julie: Let me have a kittle kiss.

Julie: You're taller than me. That puts you in a position of power. So, bye, I'm going over to Wayne's.

Marlene comes to dinner.

June: Marlene do you want milk, tea or beer?

Marlene: Oh beer please and do you have any micro brew?

June: No just Bud and Coors.

Marlene: In that case I’ll have soy milk. Also I’m Vegan so no animal products.

Beaver: Where did you find her Wally?

^Beaver had a good comment!

Beaver's friends come over for lunch.

June: What would you boys like?

Larry: I'm lactose intolerant, so Lactaid milk would be OK. But watch the cheese, it's a dairy product.

Whitey: I have a peanut allergy, no no peanuts or anything that may have come into contact with peanuts.

Gilbert: Gluten free, please. I have a sensitivity to it.

Beaver: Gee, just no brussels sprouts for me--I just don't like 'em. What's with you guys? Ya a bunch o' sissies?

June: Beaver, that's not nice! Boys, I'll make your lunch, but it'll be a couple of hours
before I figure everything out.

Being sensitive to gluten is not being PC. Neither is being vegan.

You gotta admit you never heard Vegan in the 50’s maybe vegaterian. As for gluten free that’s a new diet too. Stevea just means you wouldn’t hear that stuff back then. Don’t forget the mayo on Eddie’s sandwich. Make it lite Miracle Whip.

If I see a product in the store that says fat free I avoid it. Probably tasteless.

We just had salad, mashed red potatos, creamd spinach and vegan chicken and beef and vegan gluten-free choc chip cookies which were really gud for desert.

My Vegan friend’s menu on Christmas. Probably better than a cold meal LOL.

I do not have to admit anything. YOU might not have heard about veganism in the '50s, but it was very much around. Gluten-free is not a "diet", its a way of living for those with gluten issues, which is a medical condition, not a fad. The thread is about Politically Correct. Diet is not PC

To help enlighten you about veganism.

You can even tell a difference on some lite products. Lite mayo is really bland compared to the real thing. Plus it probably has more additives.

They've really destroyed some products. Like pretzels--try finding any with salt on them anymore. And it's interesting how we go back and forth on some items--eggs are bad, eggs are good. Wine is bad, wine is good. Coffee. Etc.

“They've really destroyed some products. Like pretzels--try finding any with salt on them anymore. And it's interesting how we go back and forth on some items--eggs are bad, eggs are good. Wine is bad, wine is good. Coffee. Etc.”

I agree. Sick and tired that’s right sick and tired how they come out with the stupidest updates on food. Monday- “You better think before you have another cup of coffee.” Thursday- “Go ahead and drink another cup of Jo it’s great for your heart.”

Btw Thin and Right pretzels are quite good.

So I’m enlightened already.

(We never heard this on LITB, but this would be the way I'd like it to go)

Beaver (to Wally): On the way home me and Gilbert walked past the high school, and there were some guys whistling at girls. They looked like they were deer in the headlights. I'm wonderin' whether guys should do that.

Wally: I've never done it. And I never thought about it much, but the way you talk about it, I don't think it's right. So, no, guys shouldn't whistle at girls.

Beaver: You know, Wally, I oughta ask you more stuff. I like the way you think, sometimes.

Wally: Well, a lot of times when you see me and think I'm doin' nothin', I'm really thinking.

Beaver: When you see me doin' nothin', I'm really doin' nothin'.

(As a young woman was introduced on a What's My Line? episode I saw this week (around 1961 episode), many in the audience whistled. I thought, how degrading. This is one thing I'm glad went away.)

June: Don't forget, boys, we're all going to the gay pride festival this Saturday.

Wally: The gay pride festival? Aw, gee, Mom, do we have to?

Ward: Your mother's right, Wally. It's important that you boys learn respect for other members of our community.

I know what you mean about What’s My Line. It was perfectly acceptable for the males in the audience to make cat calls when a shapely young woman walked and signed it. I see them smile so they might have thought it was a compliment. I guess if they said they didn’t like it, it would be unusual. It was a different time back then and women just went along with the flow. Match Game of the 70’s was racist, sexist and made fun of non heterosexuals.

Scoey Mitchell was treated very badly. It’s never edited out either. He was a good sport.

That was probably the only marginally bad thing about the old WML. Everyone involved with the game was normally very polite and refined. Nothing like today's TV, where rudeness and vulgarity are the norm.

I didn't know about Match Game.
