Interesting. Although he really should have gone with a serious, enterprisey name like "Google" or "Tiktok".

- xcambar 5y agoI like your sarcasm.
- IshKebab 5y agoThe problem isn't that it's not serious. It's that it's actively a bit gross. When someone says Tiktok I think "huh, a funky spelling" not "is this something to do with poo?" Obviously studied at the GIMP school of naming.
- thaumasiotes 5y agoGIMP at least stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. You can see where the name came from. This looks like nothing more than poor taste.
- IshKebab 5y agoGIMP is clearly a backronym. They deliberately chose a crude name that might amuse 12 year olds and then contrived an acronym for it.
- thaumasiotes 5y ago"Clearly"? It's no Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act.
