According to wikipedia [1], it was originally the scene in a film that took the most money to reproduce. And is used in journalism and many other fields.

The relation to porn is of course obvious due to the presentation's subtitle, referring to something as a 'money shot' should probably not be considered pornographic in intent, in my opinion.

"I'm co-opting the term money shot, because I think it's very valuable... we all know what it is, if you don't know you can google it because I'm not going to talk about it, but if you co-opt the concept what you come away with is the content people actually care about and that is what people pay for in porn..."

If you can't talk about the title it's probably not a very good one.
