Though it won’t be flagged as profane in most dictionaries, one word that is often viewed as a dirty word in programming is “management”. Managers are so maligned in engineering that Scott Adams created the “pointy-haired boss” as their representative (http://www.dilbert.com/). It may be true that managers are equally loathed in other fields, but having spent my adult years working in software engineering, this is the only field I feel competent to address. I also have a somewhat unique perspective having been both a developer and a development manager.
