I realize this is an old project and that it's not a big deal and that this may seem childish and many other disclaimers.
But.
Pija is a specific synonym for penis in many Spanish dialects, so this tool's name reads like Dickul in English, which is something I think the owners should be aware of if they're not already.
- baq 6y agoSee also Coq, the theorem prover.
- AlexanderDhoore 6y agoGit also isn't a very nice word. https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/git
- kkarakk 6y agoGit doesn't have sexual connotations. any term with sexual connotations is a hot potato nowadays in software biz/collaboration
- PedroBatista 6y agoEverything is a hot potato when your basic needs are met and you’re bored and more importantly you desperately feel the need be “right” about something, perhaps listened.
- mumblerino 6y agoBut Pija is not part of the name; Pij is. Italians use Fica for the female counterpart, and the national automobile company recently formed FCA. People joked about it and then everyone moved on.
- igitur 6y agoI think you'll struggle to find a human pronouncable 5 (or fewer) letter word that doesn't mean something nasty in some language.
- dan00 6y agoIt’s not against you, I just think that people are getting more and more offended about a lot of things. They should be aware, that in most cases these names aren’t intentional chosen, and choosing a name that fits anyone might be work that’s not worth the effort, so people should just get over it, have a laugh and go on.
- obscoth 6y agoWho said anything about being offended? You’re projecting some anti-PC nonsense onto this. If I’m naming a project obviously I would try to find a name that could be taken seriously in any language, and the author might care for that reason.
- dandare 6y agoThe word sounds odd in many slavic dialects too.
