Forever ago(last updated 18 years ago) there was a piece of software I used to identify video codecs and the such…horrible name. Windows apps didn’t escape the terrible naming trend either. I’d just say free software can have some…interesting names.

Can you change the password prompt to "tell me your safeword first:"?
Though I don't know how, I'd be surprised if it wasn't possible.
Even if it's not possible via some config or shell wizardry, you can always recompile the modified source
I've come to think of it as a (really) good thing - no financially motivated tech megacorp is gonna sell a monthly "sub to Gimp".
(Tho a clothes rental company might.)
Leather clothes, at that.
Its called Harley Davidson
Idk abt GIMP but hard agree about Gnome. Whenever someone uses a human foot as a logo = certified sex freak.
My pro open-source teacher in HS pushed for all of us to use the handful of Linux computers and recommended GIMP over Photoshop. He even said we can download GIMP at home for free.
Back then, searching for GIMP gave you bondage suits.
And because we were immature fuckwads, we played real hard into that joke, to a point where the principal had to send a letter to parents about how to actually find free open-source software with links.
What the fuck i use foot to walk not sex...
sometimes a footprint represents humanity and isn’t about fucking it….
i’m so happy i didn’t get that foot fetish hardwired in… it seems so silly to me…
sometimes a footprint represents humanity
sometimes, but in GNOME's case i think it is not intended to be a human foot but rather the foot of a mythological creature (a gnome). note that it has a squashed aspect ratio compared to a human foot, and also has only four toes.
apparently it's also problematic in some cultures: https://wiki.gnome.org/Engagement/FootAndCulturalIssue
that’s a good point about some cultures seeing a foot the way i would see using a linux distribution with Goatse as a logo….
Can you imagine a distro made in Nepal, using as its logo a symbol of health, commonly seen patterned into gates and doors, displayed in windows, drawn on streets...
could be a little controversial… although maybe they should take the swastika back… take away it’s power the way n-——- has changed meaning…
Or how about 3 naked people in a circle holding hands. And somehow this guy is like one of the least problematic white South African billionaires.
Well, the bar is subterranean
Obviously Tarantino was involved. A little foot fetish never hurt nobody-- right? Right???????
I always thought it was a clever sex pervert acronym for
Graphic
Image
Manipulation
Program
And we're pronouncing it JIMP?
Listen here, Legoland, I don't live in the Kingdom of Jondor
Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.
Or "Green Is My Pepper" if you ask RMS...
it stands for GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program....
wait it is GNU is Not Unix is Not Unix Image Manipulation
oh no, they put a recursion in the name!!!
YouTube apparently censors "GIMP"
What "Gimp" could stand for?
Green is my pepper.
GNU(not linux) Image Manipulation Program.
Its all rolled into GIMP, kinda like someone zipped up a suit. Oops.
A type of bondage suit
It's also a slur for disabled people.
Virgin Media would like a word
I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.
Bet they couldn’t even find the cli terminal.
I'm just trying give her that system-d.
The clit, for short
I remember someone pointed out that GIMP probably would never get adopted in a company or professional environment just because of the name. Imagine suggesting that someone should use "GIMP" in a work meeting, lol. It's not necessarily a problem, but it's a funny limitation that they put on the software.
See, most people have no clue that "gimp" is a sex thing. They just see it as a funny-sounding acronym. In an actual work meeting, the people who do know wouldn't say anything about it to avoid being seen as the weird ones.
Coq cowardly renamed their project because of this.
IMHO Coq is a much worse name, because everyone knows what a cock is.
A male chicken?
I use GIMP at work. It's officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.
I'm pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.
