You have to be careful with "naughty" words, like if your description includes the name of a company on the Dept of Treasury's shitlist[1]
Some of them are fairly generic terms. I remember when this was posted[2] on HN (payment troubles caused by writing "Blue Sky" on the memo field in a check, because a company called "Blue Sky Industries" was caught doing business with Iran).
Supposedly Venmo will also flag your payment if you put "ISIS" or something like that in the description
