Gimp:
1. a physically disabled or lame person.

The discussion Sam points to is yet another example of how Linux lacks any marketing savvy. This is not an unreasonable proposal. The #GIMP maintainers who disagree with this are out of touch. https://twitter.com/snwh/status/1146912559443906561 …
Jason, I agree #Gimp (@GIMP_Official) could benefit from rebranding, but realize that a) this idea may insult the name the developers gave their child; & b) the #Linux (@linuxfoundation) community is fond of recursive acronyms. Mainly for Windows users, but still a valid point.
