One thing you may find helpful to keep in mind; look for the effect you want, rather than concentrating on the name of the particular ad/disad/whatever.

GURPS is much more about effects than about the connotations we associate with the name of a particular ability. Perhaps the most egregious offender in the mismatched name category is Sumo Wrestling, which has a whole bunch of incredibly useful effects, which just happen to be well-matched to the sport of sumo, but would be useful to almost anyone who makes a point of moving other people around, regardless of their culture.
