The reason why this is embarrassing is because it might imply a certain disrespect for the country you are visiting. But neither does a programming language and its community deserve the same level of respect as a country and its people, nor is the history of iota() comparable to knowing the word for thank you.
No visitor to England should ever feel embarrassed in any meaning of the word for not knowing why some food words have french origin and others don't. Nor should they need to apologise for stating that they find that confusing.
