- tootie 8y agoPutz literally means penis but is commonly used to as a pejorative for a foolish man. Then again "git" is British slang with similar usage and we all use that product.
- grgbrn 8y agoNot just yiddish, it's also common slang in many parts of the US to mean a very stupid or incompetent person. So yeah, terrible branding IMHO
- namenotrequired 8y agoIt’s a common swear word in Brazil too
- ravenstine 8y agoI'm not even Jewish and "putz!" is usually what I shout when I'm driving in heavy traffic. For all the emphasis we put on design principles and naming conventions, we collectively suck at naming our products. Then again, maybe that name is genius.

- mszcz 8y agoIs it similar to the word "bro" in mandarin? :P
