Context?
Fun fact: Rooster Rock in Oregon looks nothing like a rooster, because it was originally Cock Rock. Because that's what it looks like, and even the Indians named it for that.
The word "peacock" is now only really useful in streaming TV.
I remember childhood-me finding that name quite amusing.
Of course I'm much too grown up now to find it funny....
EDIT:
Turns out I was misunderstanding the context; I misread it as something like "look how offended these people get omg", but in reality it looks like the poster was saying that it's sad that we live in a world where this might need to be changed [1]. Entirely my fault!
>We wish to thank everyone that participated in these discussions. Testimonies from people who experienced harassment or awkward situations, reports about students (notably women) who ended up not learning / using Coq because of its name, were all very important so that the community could fully recognize the impact of the current name and its slang meaning in English, especially with respect to gender-diversity in the Coq community.
Seriously there are some people getting shocked that a foreign word sounds like slang for male genitals in their language?
These people seriously need to grow up and accept that not everything is centered around their world.
"bit" is slang for cock in French, "chat" is slang for vagina, "Nike" means fuck, should we rename these so that it does not shock anyone? Where's the limit?
