I don't understand why your mind went immediately to pornography. Kind of creepy tbh.

You're overreacting, see the wikipedia article posted above.

> By 1977[2][3] the phrase had entered American usage as slang for the cum shot in a pornographic film

You must not have ever done any work in communications or PR, it's extremely off limits for a reason.

Sigh. Lately I’ve been seeing kids doing this sort of overly-sensitive, bad-intentioned, dishonest pearl-clutching as a weird form of rebellion. This reply has all the linguistic hallmarks of it. Please don’t bring this stuff to HN. It’s ridiculous, and it’s tiring. Nobody is being creepy. Stop trying to stir the pot.
