that sounds like an awesome slope to slip down on. let's get rid of all of those ridiculous terms.

how about we just use the oh so boring "professional" instead? i want respect from society for my work, not a cute pet title co-opted from other industries, where they can use these terms with a straight face and without rolled eyes from the audience.
