this means that only part of your comment that I can agree with is initial "Uh... This 'phyg' thing has not died yet?" The justification of the aversion is muddled thinking.

What's your unmuddled justification? (not sarcasm, interested what you think)

If you'll pardon my literal (and so crude) description of my reaction, "Ick. That word sucks dried monkey balls. You guys sound like total dorks if you say that all the time."

ie. I probably share approximately your sentiment just sans any "that means you're cultish" sentiment.

Pardoned. ;)

Sorry, I didn't mean "that means you're cultish", more like "that will look cultish/fishy to some newcomers". (And also "I find it embarassingly silly").
