basically picking from a random dictionary. And, if you look at the source

the human body some people find embarrassing. I looked at the remaining
list, and am perplexed as to what you are offended by. "Gerbils", perhaps?
At OLS last year (I think during Erik Troan's talk on conary), whilst
taking questions, barcode kicked in. On a ~10ft projector, with the
word 'flatulence'.
Unfortunate and somewhat embarressing perhaps, but highly amusing.
The choice of words barcode uses do seem to be of this nature a lot
of the time, so I can sort of see the OPs point.
