Agreed with everything Alan said, and also I want to point out that these are not Chris Page's terms - they are, as best I can tell, placeholder terms created by the "admonsterators" of ContraDB, designed to be so ridiculous that you have no choice but to use something else. (If you create a ContraDB account you can set your "dialect", i.e. preferred role names, and then you'll see those role names across ContraDB.)

Hi,

In my opinion it's important that the replacement terms don't resemble
any gendered words. The point of gender-neutral role terms is to break
the association between a role name and a gender.

(Personally, it also grates on me when standard terms contain a joke,
as if we're supposed to be chuckling constantly.)
