- throwaway2245 6y agoI didn't give any metric. By yours, semen is perfectly legal in several countries (and a number of states in the US). That doesn't make it appropriate as a name in an educational setting. Or, "Today we are going to be using Wine" doesn't need quite so much careful disambiguation.
