Reminds me of Ferengi. I’ve used the word, obviously, but I have such a strong association of the word with the way the Ferengi on star trek say it, that even when talking about plumbing or electrical sockets, I feel sort of gross saying the word. It just feels disrespectful. :/
I’m new to Star Trek. I’m just on 2nd season of TNG. The original series is a bit too old for me, so I skipped it.
I don’t have problem watching movies from 50s, I watched a lot of Hitchcock movies, but Star Trek is sci-fi and visual effect are not doing it for me.
I started looking at this differently after I read some Sarah J. Maas’s books. People were called female or mate there so much, especially around sexual scenes, that it felt like if the author was talking about animals instead of people.

Stay the path, friend. Tng gets better in s3, and great going forward. Those first two seasons can be a bit of a slog.
Also, I was never able to watch TOS until after I became a ride or die Trekkie. Now I love it. Lol.
