Target is on a distinguished road
In a related item, California has also moved to remove master and slave from other common descriptions.

Dog owners will no longer be referred to as "masters" and instead will be called "supreme domesticators".

Those toiling in jobs will no longer be referred to as "slaving away" and instead will be said to be "diligently toiling away at mundane tasks".

Self gratification is also no longer allowed due to obvious reasons (no not those reasons, because of the terminology...ok, and the blindness thing).

In addition, in order to avoid offending the dyslexic, salve will no longer be sold in stores after Jan 1.

Executives at MasterLock have refused comment, and are reviewing the matter with their attorneys.
