"The gimp" is infamous for sometimes getting it excluded from consideration.
I once had a new manager after an acquisition do a (pathetic) security audit of our servers and get vey upset at finding a binary called "finger". True story. Somewhere along the way we've lost the ability to have a word that means something "dirty" and also retains other meanings that people can use without someone immediately thinking of the dirty meaning. Though I enjoy their sort of thing, I think Beavis and Butthead and their successors (e.g. South Park) may be responsible for the evidently-recent development of such extreme sensitivity to those kinds of multiple-meaning words.
- whalesalad 3y agoIn high school I tried to use Gimp for a UI/UX class and my teacher flipped her shit and went on a 30 minute diatribe on how un-PC I was being. I tried to explain that it was in fact a popular open source software package for graphic design. That entire school was a friggin nightmare.
