I guess bell-end is OK although I use a hyphen
I'd guess almost any phrase is now non PC, and with "mincer" having been an almost historic slang term from the days when Jack Smethurst was king, its most likely still sat on the naughty step. The polari word "mince" simply means to walk "affectedly" so whilst not directly linked to gay community, its pretty damned close.

Interestingly though the term "snowflake", originally used negatively against Jack, has now been hijacked and recycled via Fight Club into a different form of negativity.

So perhaps anyone objecting o "mincer" is in fact now a "snowflake"?
