The term Historical Correctness( commonly abbreviated HC) is the opposite of Political Correctness, it is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to prove Facts over opinions. the term has come to refer to encouraging language or behavior that can be seen as including, Non-marginalizing, or Non-insulting groups of people considered advantaged or Non-discriminated against, especially groups defined by no sex or race. In public discourse and the media, it is generally used as a compliment, implying that these policies are historically Correct and that Facts are more real than imaginary. It is also used to prove that something that happened a long time back, is more Historically Correct than politically incorrect, therefore discontinuing the notion that something was offensive, but rather is was Historically Correct in that timeframe.
Historical Correctness defines that Men in the 20th Century were mostly in Charge for a lot of stuff. To say otherwise would be Historically Incorrect.

When iphone4S' siri autocorrects your words and changes them into a completely different phrase that is irrelevant.

A pejorative term, and straw man for a political movement fabricated by United States conservatives in about 1980 to discredit the liberal cause, and its ideas.
Whether it be any poorly handled incident where a home office minister gets ticked off for using 'nitty-gritty' in a speech, school children brought before judges for playground racial taunts, to reports of doctors reprimanded for not giving men cervical smears, they all propel an instruction of disapproval about 'politically correct madness' and for one purpose: to mock the entire liberal cause in the process. Plain-talking conservatives who yearn for 'common sense and clear thinking debate' would never fall to such liberal follies.
Thus, any environmental campaign, any discussion about global warming, any case of sexual harassment, or any response to racial prejudice, can be portrayed as the irrational exponents of 'political correctness'.

a pejorative invented by conservatives so they can say whatever the hell they want without reprisal.
Kinda like a "get out of racism free" card. Go ahead and call Justice Sotomayor a spic on national radio, and when you get called out for it, blame the media for being too "politically correct".
"All Jews are good for nothing penny-pinchers! I would know, considering I've met every single one of them. What's that? You say I shouldn't assume things? Rot in hell, you politically correct bastard!"

Something that was probably a good idea at first and then got seriously over the top and banned things that didn't offend anybody in the first place.
Eg -
We can't say blackboard (but we can say whiteboard.)
We can't sing Ba Ba Blacksheep (we sing Ba Ba Happy Sheep)
Teacher: Okay, Martin, come and write your name on the blackboard.
Martin: Teacher, I am very offended by you the chalkboard a blackboard, even though it is actually a board that is black.
Teacher: Sorry, Martin, I forgot my Political Correctness!

A term used in political debate by conservatives, meaning, roughly, "inclined to disagree with me".
"Maybe we shouldn't bomb other countries needlessly."
"Don't be so politically correct."
"What does that mean?"
"I don't know, but it's what you are."
