I'm well familiar with this problem in the software world, and have been working to stop using these, but I feel like this week I've suddenly been reminded of just how many other industries these terms are embedded in.

"Blacklist" and "whitelist" are two I have an issue with because they're really well established and concise in our industry.

Yeah those too. Thankfully it's not a difficult argument to make to change to more descriptive terms. Those don't actually mean anything themselves, you have to be taught what they mean. In contrast to blocklist/allowlist or variations.
