What is your definition of PC and where did you get it?

This has become such a buzzword in our national conversation, but it seems to have very different definitions depending on who you ask. I have a pretty good idea how people will define it, but I am curious how they came up with their choice. Context, research, or straight out of their arse?

Trying not to offend those who probably wouldn't even initially be offended, unless caught up in a group mentality. Which nowadays, has spread to all forms of communication and media.
Basically watching your own arse in public so you aren't ganged up on to where your life and career are in ruin, by things people may come across and how they perceive those things. And as time passes and things evolve, the more careful you have to get.

The first mainstream use of the term was from SNL. Kevin Nealon played the recurring role of The Politically Incorrect Detective.

Either something is correct or it isn't. If one has to modify the term "correct" in describing an action, i.e., "politically correct", the action was not actually correct.
Taking the concept to a clear application -- no one would now claim antisemitic attitudes in 1939 Germany were correct. But they were politically correct in Germany at the time.

No. Simply putting an adverb before the word " correct" does not change it to mean the opposite. "Technically correct" still means correct, "thoroughly correct" also means correct.
It's just stating that something is correct in the political since, and since politics is about popularity it means something that would be popular. Or at the very least not unpopular with the largest number of people.
