Not doubting the story part or that a lot of those are true - I happen to know females with bad expiriences.
Still, in my book using a technical word colloquially is bad practice as it evokes untrue side pictures.
Corona educated at probably a third to exponential growth possibilities and similar biology topics.
Strenghtening colloquial usage or meaning only dissolves or muddies communication.
And if emotional or subconcious response is targeted, at best the post from above on hammering the table fits.
