mentionable
Safe to discuss
Mentionable describes something suitable or worthy of being mentioned.
The word usually appears in its negative form—unmentionable—for things too embarrassing, taboo, or indelicate to discuss openly.
When mentionable does appear, it often concerns whether something deserves notice: Is there anything mentionable in today's news?
