I’m fairly sure the Twitter portion is because they named their product synonymous to a common social media expression for “share a picture of your (male) genitalia”.
It’s an unfortunate scenario for anyone who had to look at those tweets, I’m sure.
- __jonas 3y agoIt's 100% this, the only place I've heard about this thing before seeing it on hn is people making fun of the name. Then again, I've seen memes about it several times from completely outside of the dev/tech sphere because of this, so maybe in a way it works since it made me look up the company.
- aeonik 3y agoI'm confused, do you mean "PostHog"? I've never heard of this being used that way.

- rideontime 3y agoIf you search twitter for “post hog,” the very first result is a person sharing a photograph of their erect penis.
- devmor 3y agoYes, "hog" is slang for penis. Telling someone to "post hog" is a particularly common expression among more... online leftists. A degradation of their character, basically telling them that their opinions are worthless so they had better have a large member to make up for it.
