In my professional experience as a teacher of high school children the following terms consistently cause problems in class:
- git: literally a pejorative
- any website name ending in -hub, cf websites of interest to teenage boys
Imagine a software project called catshit made popular by a related website called catshitpiss where their great pearl-clutching debate is about how it potentially alienates people with cat fur allergies.
>- any website name ending in -hub, cf websites of interest to teenage boys
Does -hub have a general negative connotation in your language? In English it just refers to a centre of something, in physical objects usually something with a radial topology.
If the existence of pornhub.com is enough to make the use of the pattern *hub problematical generally then I'm going to create pornbread.com and force everyone to eat untoast & butter.
My native language, despite what people think of my ability to write, is English.
Bread is too quotidian for your example, I think. Try subverting something more closely related to computers. Perhaps launching pornhaskell.co.ck would be a better attempt?
It’s more likely to generate embarrassment in class if you ask the boys if they’ve been up all night with sticky Haskell problems.
Except "porn" is by definition related to porn, whereas "hub" is completely generic? Why would a word cease to be OK because a porn website has been using it?
