Way back when I played go with a few friends in college, we started calling it "baduk" (the Korean term) because the term "go" always took a second to register if you weren't already expecting it based on context. It's a really unfortunate word to try to borrow into English. To name a language "Go" when they knew most of their users would discuss it in English was just stupid.
