I thought OP was looking for minced oaths that could be used in its place, and this is the first thing that came to mind for me. I use this one all the time because I try not to drop the big one around my five- and three-year-olds.

I'd use 'encoded as 15:17', or 'packed' is fine here as well.
I'd also recommend being explicit about which 15 and 17 bits are used rather than using 'first' and 'last', because that may mean different things depending on the platform endianness. You could say 'Bits 0:14 store the sequence number, while bits 15:31 store the shot number'. That makes it far easier to reason about how to access each piece of data in the combined 32 bits.
Paul Simon has so many hard-hitting lyrics across his entire catalog. I'm sure I could find something from just about any album, but for me, what comes instantly to mind is this line from "The Cool, Cool River": "And sometimes, even music/ Cannot substitute for tears".

The horizontal refresh rate of NTSC was 15735 Hz, so the adjustments are likely tied to that particular signal. Definitely marketing fluff for sure, but backed up by the tech.
This is good too.
