The problem with these names is the disruption caused by other
Wikipedians taking offense at them.

"Cumguzzler" received acrid complaints within hours and generated pages
of screed *entirely from other people debating its lack of merits*
within a couple days of its first appearence, while "CrucifiedChrist"
has been used for almost two weeks *without a peep* from anyone until
today.

In my book, that's a huge improvement. Now please stop feeding the
trolls; we've got an encyclopedia to work on.
