Gimp is not only an S&M term for a submissive in a leather suit; it's
also a historical synonym for a person with crippled legs. I think it's
a horrible name and I've often taken steps to pronounce the acronym
fully; e.g. "GNU Image Manipulation Program". I love the program, by the
way. I've must've used it over a thousand times by now.
Smack would've been a better name if it weren't for the less ambiguous
slogan; "A new fetish in Linux audio".
YMMV on all above topics, of course.
