What does "git" mean? to me a "lad" is like a "git" but a good one ;-)

huh ok I'd say closer to the opposite for me. Lad has specific negative connotations https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lad_culture …

Thanks -- didn't know. But there it is primarily a "lad culture" and "new lad". dicts of 'dict' command do not have that reference

I've lost you already. I'm just curious as to the lad in the name datalad. If just arbitrary word, I understand.

We were forbidden to use "git" in the name, so came "lad". dict: http://pastebin.com/qXzKEPHg , so idea was of a boy with a cute cap ...

ah! I see. OK, yeah just be aware there are very strong negative connotations in UK with sexist/violent young men.

I guess we should come up with a mascot sooner than later then. (I thought that "git" was the strong word between the two, heh)

git is rude, altho not very! But it has no relationship with "sexist young man" just a buffoon, a silly person. Lad is not rude.

Lad is just a bad person (sexist youth specifically). Saying "he is a bad person" as a sentence contains no rude words.

Thanks. Sad that in GB we would possibly be "misunderstood". In US, associations are different: http://simpsons.wikia.com/wiki/Lard_Lad_Donuts … ;-)

@wikia yeah this is why I mentioned it. I was genuinely very confused for a bit.
