Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Per a popular post on reddit*, 3/4 of the sample based integrated method names are, or are very close to, popular sexual-ish diminutives or slurs:
Simp: A diminutive for men, most commonly used in the context of the porn industry
Trapz: A slur for transgender women with strong sexual overtones
Cumtrapz: I'm not explaining this one on my professional github account
As I understand, this is probably against the libraries new code of conduct in addition to just generally being troubling.
Describe the solution you'd like
Rename the methods at issue to not have weird sexual overtones. It's one thing if a reasonable random abbreviation for something to sound vaguely sexual. This many together just feels awkward and a bit tone-deaf, and the reception on Reddit seems to substantiate this. At minimum, it certainly isn't best practices for design inclusivity.
