Why the term "Yiff" is bad.

Not that I think many will read this, but the term "Yiff", unfortunately, is not a good thing. "But it is harmless!" you might protest. I disagree, using the term "Yiff" may seem harmless to the majority of people here on FA, but it is detrimental to societal acceptance of the furry idea. "Yiff" doesn't say to an outsider "Oh, this is just a cute fan term for sex" it says "These people feel the terms we've been using for generations aren't good enough for them" it deliberately distances you from acceptance.
What the hell is wrong with using the terms "Fuck" "Bang" "Plow", hell, even "Make Love to" "Have sex with"?
Similarly, unless a given character actually has, you know, real paws for hands, why not use the term "Hands" instead of "Paws"? I mean, REALLY?
