It’s always good to consider your audience, I guess is my take. So for instance, since my development team at work is comprised of both men and women, I don’t use the term “boyscout changes” and instead just “scout changes.”
But also, I’m not gonna nitpick and get lost in nuance. For instance, the exclamation of “DUDE!” has no gender connotations to me. And if it offends someone… get over it dude.
