Second, it makes you look like an absolute fucking moron. In jokes should be kept in. Anyone who doesn't know will be confused at best and most likely think you're retarded. Anyone who does know will be left cringing. Anyone who finds out or already knows and dislikes us will have a worse impression of us and it could lead to them coming here to troll, resulting in even worse board quality.
Traditions tend to be there for a good fucking reason.
