The tool "git" (which I imagine more devs on here use daily) is actually named after that word. Annoyingly that is used by some Americans to justify some other slightly untasteful language used by people in software that has just been around for a long time.
As for the article, it's somewhat shocking but at the same time I can't say I'm surprised.

I hadn't seen the term 'nonce' used before I worked in blockchain. When I was proofing a whitepaper to go out I was struck by the term 'cryptographic nonce' and had to explain to many bemused foreign colleagues what the slang term meant and whether or not we could replace it with something else.
Apparently not.
