Unhappy Should we now refer to Super High Gravity Locations?

In light of what was reported by Phil in this blog entry, should we follow what was suggested, in what I am told is a spoof, here and use the term Super High Gravity locations, and for the bigger ones, Mega High Gravity Locaations, instead of the other term, which for fear of the Political Correctness thought Police (Who do an excellent job really ) I no longer feel comfortable using, given what happened in Texas and the way people can be persecuted for being seen to be not PC.

Is there anything intrinsically wrong in these new terms?

The phrase Super High Gravity Locations is an insult to junkies.
