Those are purely linguistic constructions. I take issue with these nicknames for real substances, which already have shortened names that are easy to pronounce (PFAs). This is giving something that's already established, a new nickname, with the addition of your own emotional manipulation. I would say one of the reasons this is getting so much attention is because of their clever wording. I can't say whether this is an important issue, because I don't have any experience in this area.

I'll provide an example. So currently "Russia" is the normal term for that country west from Alaska. But you could also say "Communist Russia", "Red Menace", "Mother Russia", and apparently some people call it "Mordor" lol. Even for informal communications you should avoid these sort of alternate terms. It's unprofessional. If you have a strong argument or message it will stand on its own.
