Nutt-ex, seriously? Why not Cum-ex? Who comes up with these names... "My process just nutted into a kernel function and later spawned a thread"

  No matter what name you're going to pick, it's going to have some other meanings in some other language out there. One has to be more professional than that.

    In my own multi-decade IT experience: most people working in SW almost never think in these directions (and therefore catch such associations before the public does), because they are dorks, and often lacking any humor. Marketing dudes definitely are more fun and know how to party, AND how to assess possible connotations. And why would Softies think in those directions - fannies are considered black scary animals down there, i heard.

I understand that some stereotypes exist for a reason, but in this case the reasons are decades out of date, so you may wish to update your understanding of the world.
