Please don't use the term "Chicken and Pigs" in SCRUM context

I came to know on one of the website that in SCRUM context, core roles are called as "pigs" and ancillary roles are called as "chickens". This was named after the story/joke of Chicken and Pig. The "chicken-and-pigs" joke was very old many years before it became a foundation of SCRUM, but still this terminology is been used today. The joke is meant to point out the difference between those who are committed on a project and those who are only involved. But it's ok if these terminologies are kept for understanding the core roles and not so called 'defining' them.
