It's stupid as fuck and is forced, just like that stupid "your momma" jokes in TLJ.
It's unlike when they made the Jabba the Hutt species into hermaphrodites, where everything was kept within the context of the Star Wars universe.
Or the swear words they use in the Star Wars books/movies. They should not use modern-Earth swear words or insults, because they not from our culture. Sure, it may sound silly creating your own bad words and terms, but that's just how life is when dealing with something unfamiliar to you. Check out how it used to be in ancient Roman times:
>"Fuck," or futuo, was also not always pejorative. One Pompeian offered this tender sentiment to a friend: "Fortunatus, you sweet soul, you total fucker!"Using modern day shit like how Wendigo or whatever did is just bad writing and is forced crap. It's as stupid as creating an evil army of Hitlers or Trumps and just saying they only look like that because they're aliens.
Now, if they played that off as just a joke, well... it's only slightly less cringing in how well it's pulled off.
PS, Juggernaut brought down the WTC towers in 1991.
