Germ cells refer to the egg and sperm cells as a whole, a great way to refer to both without saying "precursor cells to a financial parasite that will drain your bank account and destroy your mental state."

In my opinion, "germ cells" is a much nicer and simpler term than the aforementioned phrase.
