'Bash' is too violent as well. We should rename it to 'hug'.

`bash` is also pretty evangelical ;)

On a serious note, I've never actually understood where the term "hung" comes from in computing. Why is the process "hung" and not simply "stalled" or something else.

Hung is used like that outside computing. For example in the terms "hung jury" and "hung parliament". I have no idea how this word became common in computing though.

The real reason is because most of the concepts surrounding multi-process computing come from the telephone industry.

The modern interpretation is that system operators need to feel like they have a big penis.

I actually didn't even think of it in that regard. I regard hung as in something that is hanging (dangling) from something else.

Humans kill many things over the course of their existence. For instance, we slaughter animals for food, pluck weeds to help our crops, and preserve food by boiling or chemical means (e.g. salt).

Killing is not deplorable. Murder is deplorable. (I'm a vegetarian, so I find slaughter for food deplorable too, but I'm in the minority here.)
