Years ago I brewed a big ridiculous Kitchen sink porter. This beer had everything and wasn't horrible.

I named it "Yeast Infection"
 
Just had this discussion with Brewer Assistant yesterday, I do not have any good ideas but I do not like any thing that refers to drunkeness, Maybe because of lot of Drunken acquaintenances i alreadyhave rep and do not want connotation of beer equates with drunkard
We've talked in the lousy labels thread about terrible labels that send the wrong message about a beer. I think as a field dominated by men, there is a fair bit of crudeness in beer naming, or inside-joke kinds of names that just seem dumb to anyone that would be buying the product. So what words should never be used in a beer's name?

Here's a few I've been thinking of:

Slobber
Knocker
Dog
"PG" Swear words like ass, bitch, etc.
Drool
Hair

Anyone else?
 
fake
slimy
tainted
infected
rotten
swolen
putrid
any term you might hear in a doctors office for that matter
