What's Wrong?

While waiting for command execution, Claude Code shows offensive language ("booping" and "ramboozing" , for example). it's not funny, it is highly irritating and highly offensive - "booping" might be interpreted as touching a female employee's breast. This exposes my company to potential litigation. Hence this must be stopped immediately.

What Should Happen?

Replace offensive comments by neutral language like "Thinking"
