> Terms like "motherboard" are readily findable on Google's internal search.

This is meaningless. I work at a large organization that has banned terms like "master/slave" and "whitelist/blacklist", and I can also readily find these terms through internal search, simply because it's taking a while for the requirements to be implemented and enforced.

This also doesn't mean a lot, unless you've comprehensively searched through every possible location for the relevant policy, as almost every organization in existence has terrible knowledge management.

Go talk directly to someone in HR and tell me if they tell you that those words aren't restricted.
