Its tɔɪt versus twŏt. Definetly not the same. Your bikeshedding is way over the line. It is just as much the french word for roof or a slangy spelling of tight.

Your bikeshedding is way over the line. It is just as much the french word for roof or a slangy spelling of tight. Don't make it their problem that you have an (weird) association.
- handrous 5y agoI spent about a minute wondering why someone made yet another software project that I can't talk about with non-nerds (or in mixed company at all, or with people I don't know very, very well and do not work with, et c.), before figuring out other ways to say it (my first alternative guess was as in "a round tuit" = "to it", though note the spelling there...) Blame French classes, I guess. And I'm American! I bet if I passed this around on my non-nerd chat friend groups at least half would guess the vulgar-sounding version first.
