  1. Cluestick: Get new names. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Troll

    I swear, the people who create these projects should be beaten:

    ==

    (1) GIMP

    gimp - n : disability of walking due to crippling of the legs or feet [syn: lameness, limping, gimpiness, gameness, claudication]

    (2) GNOME

    gnome - A dwarf; a goblin; a person of small stature or misshapen features, or of strange appearance.

    Am I to gather that combined they form a small crippled old man? Yessir, those names sure make *me* want to use those products...
