Don’t see the issue. I naturally pronounce this “eff-queue”. You’ve really got to work hard to make it vulgar.

I’d have gone with bq myself

I know that jokes don't go over well here, but...

I'd make an improved one, one which is better. And I'd name it bbq.

And I will write a fuzzer for bbq called omgwtf.

D'oh! Big ol BigQuery CLI would like to have a word

then bbq.

Only in puritan cultures

Or passive aggressive…

:) i didn't choose it to be provocative or so, apologies if that is the case. I've always pronounced jq yay-queue so fq is eff-queue for me. Also f and q can be written with one hand on qwerty which is nice and quick

Yeah, two syllables is too long. Let's just sound it out...

... 'feek' ?

If it were 'fk' sure, but the Q on the end makes me think of all the English words that come from French and end in 'ique', like technique. 'fq' looks like 'feek' to me.
