  -> Supongo que buscan quitarle el factor machista desligándola de ese tipo de comportamientos, aunque está claro que la expresión se ha ganado esa fama por algo. Gracias por el apoyo ;)

Explanation:
Ofrezco una alternativa, menos literal, porque es una expresión en jerga callejera; se usa para referirse a una conversación de temas o con palabras que no serían tocados / usadas en un ambiente público.
