That's fine that it doesn't appeal to you, because you aren't the target audience (no offense). The target audience is high school students who often times use language like that every day, and would otherwise be discouraged from joining robotics by the seemingly rigid formality of it all. I think it does an excellent job of getting those people engaged without offending more than a very small minority of the current population, and likely then not enough to get them to leave FIRST entirely.
