Hello. In English this makes me think of the phrase “dog shit”. Not sure if that’s intentional or not.

        Yeah, and the Slack logo designers claim they didn't have penises or swastikas on their mind, but here we are. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nicolenguyen/slack-new-logo-design-backlash https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/nicolenguyen/slack-new-...

    The word “dash” is a word for shit in English (as in dashboard - literally the board on a buggy or wagon to deflect the horse droppings). That doesn’t keep a shell from being named that. Of course, dash also means to move quickly so it’s not the only meaning. Moving quickly seems to be the inspiration for the shell’s name.

  Well, bash as a shell is ok. Writing complex scripts on the other hand...
