A (US based) PM on our team really liked to use “backlog grooming” until we sent him a few BBC articles about the connotations - he immediately changed his lingo :)

I am offended by the connotations of "BBC," it makes me feel inadequate. Please change your lingo.

There's nothing wrong with the phrase "grooming". We groom lots of things including ourselves as in personal grooming.

This whole language purity test, whether from the left or right, is just a load of performative bollocks.
