I googled it and found marriage, multiculturalism, midget, and various other sensitive or loaded words, but I don't think any of those fit the bill. My brain's turned off too.

Yep, and Microsoft as well. You can't be too careful.

I think it was a "meta" word--something to do with conversations ruminating on the meaning/value of the thread constituting a hijack?

That's what I was thinking too! We have a winner! Your box of puffy unicorn stickers and a handful of lollies is in the mail, Vox. I see you've been handing them out to deserving newbies, so I want to replenish your supply. |

I was away for most of the day, but now I am back. These developments are so fulfilling.
I was actually very worried the m-word in question was "massage." I'm so relieved.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with a reasonable confidence interval, how relieved are you? We're going to use the results in a survey of math attitudes among non-mathematicians and need good statistics. |

Mere numbers cheapen the sentiment.
What I want is a "Microsoft, Math, and Meta-Motherhood: Multiculturalism?" thread.

I see an entry for the Nude Photos of Dick Cheney thread right there. |
