What is political correctness/incorrectness?

I've heard this term get tossed around in arguments and debates plenty of times and I still have yet to know what it means.I know it has a negative stigma behind it, but I just want to know what the term means, and what an example of it is.

Political correctness is not saying things generally considered offensive to minorities, women, LBTGQ, the disabled, etc.
Political incorrectness is being offensive on purpose.

I do not hold that political correctness is tolerating those who are intolerant, or respecting those who hold beliefs that hurt people.

That's my point of view. I don't know if it's the actual definition of either.
