Is it time to retire the term “Bulge Bracket”?

Seems outright crude and clearly misogynistic. How is HR letting a term so vile continue to propagate?

As an ethically and socially responsible generation (unlike the Boomers), what should we rename the term “Bulge Bracket” to?

Just a basic google search will teach you that it had absolutely none of the undertones that pervy minds read into it. I don't understand why a generation hyper-emphasizes the internet—but can't agree to do basic research to have informed opinions.

I thought "retardisms" were limited to those people who want to find homoeroticism in every bible passage that mention "love" & "men" in the same paragraph
