Why would it be? I can't think of a single meaning of BBC which translates to an insult. GIMP on the other hand has more than one meanings as an insult (not even an acronym).
- mardifoufs 2y agoUhhh BBC also stands for something else, and that second meaning is a very common term on the internet.
- isodev 2y agoDescribing one’s … favourite desert? (HN is American so not sure we can say the word here) doesn’t constitute an insult - people say it all the time irl. But you’re also right that BBC wouldn’t be a good name for a design tool either. Naming things is hard, someone should setup a focus group :)
- Ylpertnodi 2y agoAre you thinking of the Coventry University Netball Team? (again).
- npteljes 2y agoTry this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_(sexual_slang) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_(sexual_slang) Definitely came after the original BBC being established, and definitely is orders of magnitude less known than the sexual slang variant. So yeah, the Gimp comparison doesn't stand, at all.
