Again, that is hardly literary. If you want literary use of "fucking" (there, I said it), then I would invite you and the repo owner to read "The Elements of Fucking Style" by Chris Baker and Jacob Hansen [1]. Maybe then you both would understand how to use the word. Lastly, to help the situation I've decided to offer a helping hand to fix this problem, a pull request[2]! Does anyone know if you can rename a repo with a pull request?

Maybe literary was the wrong word for me to use, but I get the sense that it is a purposeful use of the word for stylistic purposes, and that Tim Pope isn't leaning on it as a crutch. I feel like you're treating your prescriptivism of how the English language should be used as more objective than it really is.
