    You could try typing the term used to refer (usually derogatorily) to a person with an injury or deformity in their lower extremities, or the term used as a synonym for hobble.

        Gimp. A word used to refer to someone with a lower extremity injury or deformity, or a synonym for the word “hobble”

            Yeah, it makes it sound silly and non-serious to people I’ve introduced it to who know nothing about open source and Linux etc

              What a weird thing to worry about in a world where some of the most recognizable products have silly, unserious names like Google and Twitter, and where the slogan for one of the most popular media players of all time is “it really whips the llama’s ass”

                Google and Twitter are not on par with “gimp”. I also didn’t say I was worried. I just noted that it makes people take the software less seriously when I advocate it as a free, open source replacement for Photoshop, which has a very respectable reputation and a business-like name. Being called “gimp” makes people doubt that it’s a professional quality product.
