I also propose to ban the following technical terms that carry dark
meanings: "abort", "kill" and "execute" (stop the genocide!)
Not sure about "terminate".
There are also nationalist jokes about Dutchs. That also must be
stopped!
Let's decide how to replace them and who'll send pull requests about
what.
