Workout titles

I know we've discussed this topic in the past, but the newer threads about Jari's newest release-to-be made me think of my own buying habits again, revised for 2018.

Has a workout title ever been off putting enough to you that you won't buy it? I think of the past (well, now too although I haven't seen any recent releases using it) when I wouldn't buy anything with "buns" in the title, and currently I cringe enough at the term "Bellyfit" that it's also a no go for me. Don't know why that latter one bugs me, it just does. It really has nothing to do with the workouts at all, which could be excellent but I will never know as I can't get past the title.

I think that Jari's title Get Ripped and Jacked is a bit unfortunate, although I know what she most likely intended with the Jacked part. DH and I use the term "jacked up" as a non-profane version of "messed up." But I've also heard jacked as pumped in the muscle building world. Don't know that this one is quite enough to keep me from buying it, but I haven't made up my mind at this point since we don't have a lot of other information. I would like to see more. Have we seen Robb in any of her workouts?

The word Steamin' in that title has always bothered me!

Butt Bible and seems like there was some workout with a$$ in the title. Those held zero interest for me to even check them out.

I know some people don't like Lauren Brooks' title Shut Up and Train but that's smthg I would say to myself so it never bothered me at all.

I might be turned off if the titles used profanity but I believe I would still try the workout. I'm pickier about the content and will do not workouts with cursing in it.

I'm generally turned off by all uses of the word "booty" in a title.
Same for any title that has "sexy" in it.

Before I had a child, practically nothing bothered me in a workout title. Now, I can't buy anything with profanity in the title, and will hesitate if there is profanity in the workout. He is in the workout room with me 50% of the time when I workout, and he's very sensitive to profanity .

Thought of more...
I'm disinclined to buy workouts that have a title along the lines of:
Look great naked!
Drop 10 pounds!
Lose weight fast!
2 sizes down!

I find that the older I get, the more that sort of stuff feels insulting. I also don't want my daughters seeing them and thinking my motivation is appearance. (Even if it is...that's my baggage and I'd rather not pass it on!)
