The only thing I can think of is that PC epileptics might have a fit if they heard it.

'Tis true. Someone I know worked for local gov a few years back and used it in a meeting. He was taken to one side afterwards and told it's frowned upon. "Thought shower" or something was suggested as an alternative.
