In Rust, macro calls end in an exclamation mark (println!, try!).
Even if the Rust devs pick throw as a keyword, I'm 100% sure someone will write a macro that will allow you to write yeet! instead.
I'm 66% sure that this macro will end up being included in the dependency chain of a common framework as well…

That's exactly what happened to Linux Mint's Warpinator the name was purposely chosen to be stupid as a temporary placeholder, and then they ended up sticking with it.

I wonder what's going to happen with dark matter and dark energy once physicists have it figured out. They'll give the discoveries proper names followed by media and pop culture using "Dark X" for the next few decades?

No it wouldn’t. I use rust for work which is frustrating enough without jokey meme bullshit.
One of the most obnoxious things is people forcing other people to partake in their own sense of humor.
