You're offended if someone wrote "testicle" in source code? Are you also offended about "ankle" or "hair"? The puritanism...

I’m not offended. It is unprofessional. Talking about sex at a workplace that is not about sex is going to be offputting to many people who are not there to have sex.

The mere mention of the word "testicle" makes you think that your coworkers want to have sex with you? Wow.

Have you tried talking about testicles in a work meeting? Genuine question.

There's a difference between "talking about it" and "the word is uttered somehow at some point".

A constant in a codebase is not “uttered somehow at some point.” It is a fixture for everyone to see until it is changed by another commit.
