While the subject line in question makes us grownups wince, it should
cause no concern in the hearts of the innocent; and since it isn't an
acronym that needs explaining there is no particular reason for them
to inquire about it.  Given the nature of the inquiry it would be
difficult to avoid naming the place -- it could be circumlocuted
fairly easily in the body but not in the subject; and again given the
nature of the inquiry putting the name of the establishment in the
subject is a practical necessity.

Allowing it is a judgment call.  I saw it, thought about it, decided
to allow it; all the while wincing to beat the band.  YMMV.

I wouldn't know, sorry.

Best,
David
