Probably just because of the connotation that would bring

Some years ago my teenage school buddy, who played the piano, announced that he had heard that "Hitler's penis" had been found in a neighbouring town. I puzzled over this and had a very confused conversation for about a minute; "Yeah! I read it in the paper -they found Hitler's penis in Blantyre" Well I knew that his body had been partly burnt and we all heard the story about him only having one testicle, so maybe there was a pickled part stored somewhere. Maybe it was dried out like a bit of beef jerky! How did they know it was his?
Then it became clear that his piano teacher had been located, having emigrated to Scotland some years earlier! Hitler's pianist! Pronounced by my pal as "peenist".
So I think there is a case for doing away with the word altogether.

because using that logic it would be a carcist , the driver is using car. Just like the pianist is using a piano. But the race car driver gets more chicks.

Yes, racists were around well before race cars.

There's a whole lot more evidence towards English of why not this but that. Seriously. I've read one before but I can't type it down now. It's darn alot!

That word was already taken before they were racing cars.

It is English, where 'no', 'lo', 'po' have one rule and 'do' has another. To look after the guest by the host should have been 'hostage' and a good host should have been called 'hostile', but it is just the opposite.

THAT'S THE REASON WHY ENGLISH IS CALLED A CRAZY LANGUAGE.
