What's in a name? The word "gay" itself wasn't originally meant to describe homosexuality either but culture eventually moved to a point where it was and that's how we associate it to that now, the same applies to the term in question.

I do understand what you're aiming at, but if blizzard ever used that similar excuse it would be shot down immediately by just about everyone.
