The one that got me in trouble a few years ago was using the term "pecker head" when speaking about a motor connection box during a class I taught on solid state motor control. There were women in the audience and one filed a complaint to the seminar producer about my using "sexually charged language". I had to explain it afterward and they wanted me to prove origins of the term. That was like trying to prove who invented the wheel! But ultimately, I was able to show how prevalent that term is in the electrical industry. She was from Michigan (I think), she claimed to have never heard that before.
