Slippery slope fallacy. Yes, protesting functions whose initials spell out a cuss word in Swahili would be silly and counterproductive. But no one has proposed that, or anything like that. This is an English-language code base, and there is nothing ambiguous about the English meaning of the phrase "I give head."
