I have never heard the term 'criss cross applesauce' - it sounds like total nonsense. I've never heard 'Indian style' either though. We just call it 'cross legged'.

I think political correctness causes more problems than it was ever designed to solve. Yes by all means defend people who are being flat out insulted but people are tending to take offence where none was ever intended. We cannot say 'blackboard' in case it offends black people but we can say 'white board'. Whit on earth should an accurate description of a black chalk borad offend anyone of any race or colour? It's crazy.
