Please excuse my Political Correctness.
It isn't actually Political Correctness.
You see, once upon a time, I had a character who met a nymph, then was befriended by her.
Then, he joined the Church of Sune, which happened to be run by another nymph (he didn't know this until shortly before he joined!)
THEN, we came upon a beach (we were in a ship) were a whole gaggle of nymphs were bathing.
My character jumped overboard, and abandoned the adventurer altogether, experience points, treasure, and all.
So he could be with the ladies.
(This all happened, in the RPGA LC games.)
Now, when you are my age, you love to fantasize about Romance, especially with girls who are intelligent, mysterious, and beautiful (as nymphs are, if you use the concepts given in Cormanthor: Empire of Elves.)
And, it is great to fantasize about dancing with the ladies, and flirting with the ladies, and ... well, enjoying the company of ladies.
Did I mention having one's character marry, and having children, and even the details of a relationship?
All of it, yes. All of it.
There is a dragon's hoard worth of treasure and magic, and then there is the company of an intelligent lady who is as lonely as your character is.
My lonely characters pick the lady everytime. Let someone else have the worthless treasure.
And so, I cannot bring myself to add to the lists above.
Such words drive the ladies away (actually, they tend to make the ladies attack your character.)
And my characters wish to befriend and share the companionship of the ladies, not alienate them.
That is what happens when you game too long.
All you Younger Gamers out there, take note, and beware!

P:S
I tried to run a surly, nasty, evil dwarf once by the name of Gnarrus.
But then the ladies started referring to the cute, lovable dwarf.
That was the end to that conception. (rueful look)
