By the way, "joystick" was kinda rude back in the day, but nobody even notices now.

Wikipedia seems to suggest it was an original term, first recorded use in 1909, and mentions nothing about alternative terms or controversy. I call BS

He means rude as in people made a sexual innuendo out of it.

I remember in late 90s my brother bought a joystick. The brand was ThrustMaster. Literally, that was the name. ThrustMaster Joystick.

We still laugh about it sometimes.
