i'm pretty sure that using these words is a marketing tactic and to get people to notice them. but it's unnecessary in my opinion.
the one that really bugged me was butt bible when it came out. i'm not a holy roller by any means, but mashing a word that someone might revere as sacred with a body part is somewhat off-putting.
i guess i'm old-fashioned, but more about being professional. when it came out, i avoided all threads on it. i ended up getting it in a trade years later because it was mentioned in a couple of threads. i tend to be a "late to the party" and "latent adopter" on new workouts.
