Google’s “inclusive documentation” guide highlights other… colorful choices… that emerge and proliferate on account of all computer-science experts being the same kind of complete dork. For example, variables names are alternating-caps or dash-separated instead of camel-case and kebab-case. Hierarchies should probably never have been called master versus slave. And there’s some debate for how to describe server-cluster recovery modes, but the answer is not “shoot the other node in the head.”
