Lol. I've gotten these many times. It turns out that an acronym related to my work is one typo away from a listed child porn term/site. If google is reporting these then I am already on thier list.

In particle physics, it is interesting which fundamental interactions conserve parity, charge parity and time reversion. Interactions that do not conserve one or multiple parties are called "parity violating". In this context, in some interactions combined charge and parity conservation is violated, which is unfortunately named CP violation.

Better not look up anything about /usr/bin/cp.

For the Hugin panarama suite one tool to find control points is named cpfind.

Civil Protections in Half-Life 2 is also often abbreviated CP. IIRC the are even CP violations mentioned in the Overwatch announcements, which would fit in with the series' physics references.

So many minefields...

Or look up how to handle kill process or sacrifice child.

Ah that old chestnut, I am sure they have heard many worse excuses than that one.

There is an old Drew Carry joke:

"I wanted to get the Playboy channel, but I already have the cartoon network and if you have both they put you on a special list."
