Do you ensure that your software does not form ridiculous numbers? Imagine that some christian person gets "666" number. What a scandal.

Do you ensure that your software does not form ridiculous words in every language? Or just another US-centric thing?

The idea of avoiding identifiers to be ridiculous is ridiculous to me, honestly...

This is just not going work in a customer centric organization. If SABRE gave out PNRs like, I don't know, SEXGOD, it would make customers angry, and that is not even with any curse words. They are heavily filtered.

You can also get 666 in a quid for what it's worth
