Putz literally means penis but is commonly used to as a pejorative for a foolish man. Then again "git" is British slang with similar usage and we all use that product.

Not just yiddish, it's also common slang in many parts of the US to mean a very stupid or incompetent person. So yeah, terrible branding IMHO

I'm not even Jewish and "putz!" is usually what I shout when I'm driving in heavy traffic.

For all the emphasis we put on design principles and naming conventions, we collectively suck at naming our products.

Then again, maybe that name is genius.

Yikes.... Quick google search is no good :(
