Interesting. Although he really should have gone with a serious, enterprisey name like "Google" or "Tiktok".
I like your sarcasm.
The problem isn't that it's not serious. It's that it's actively a bit gross. When someone says Tiktok I think "huh, a funky spelling" not "is this something to do with poo?"
Obviously studied at the GIMP school of naming.
GIMP at least stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program. You can see where the name came from.
This looks like nothing more than poor taste.
GIMP is clearly a backronym. They deliberately chose a crude name that might amuse 12 year olds and then contrived an acronym for it.
"Clearly"? It's no Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act.
If you have kids, the name is from a popular series of tween books called diary of a wimpy kid.
Huh, interesting. It was also used in one of the Magic School Bus books (and maybe a corresponding episode, not sure), to describe the sound made by Carlos' invented musical instrument.
