Use of the term "Nikah Nama" on the forum نكاح

I have seen a lot of Pakistanis and Indians using this term for "marriage certificate" .

Long time ago I was at a saudi ministry  applying for my wife's  residence visa, every time I used this word , most Saudis put their hands on their mouth and got embarrassed.

I was later told that it means the most frequently used four letter word in Arabic.

Should we be using this word on the forum?  Before you answer kindly check on line translation of this word or consult an Arab friend.
