Your falling into the political correctness speak trap. When I was a kid, it was "sticks and stone may break your bones, but words will never harm you." Today we have changed our language, and people's feelings are still getting hurt. In fact, hurt feelings are an epidemic.
Let's be perfectly honest. A Cobra is a psychological extension of your penis that you can show off to everyone, and you are complaining because 1% of the people do not praise it appropriately???
Get over it, and enjoy life. Riding in a Cobra is a true joy. Stop allowing and looking for minutia to annoy you.
