Heh...  You've actually been a lot more polite than what I started to
write on that particular topic.  Mine had started with "folks, identifiers
should be possible to read aloud, without the people around getting nervous.
I mean, ai,ai-ai,owwie-...?" and then got so nasty that I decided to leave
the whole thing alone.

But yes, references to the importance of remembering the safeword aside,
the naming is really atrocious.
