Not saying if the title is good or bad, but just to provide context: there's a tradition of these style of apple-language explainers / cheat sheets titled in this pattern. First I'm aware of is https://fuckingblocksyntax.com/ . There seem to be at least 15 of them listed on https://fuckingsyntaxsite.com/ , and probably more with different swears. It's a genre of titles in the same vein as "considered harmful" or "falsehoods programmers believe about"

They also have this variant, though:
