I'm missing the context for some of these. A lot of them seem obvious, or just thing+unicode?

I like the commandline godoc, still dislike gopath. And.. what is the gopher's name?

From https://blog.golang.org/gopher:

The gopher has no name, and is called just the "Go gopher"

It wasn't all that obvious or popular back in 2012. Many of these patterns have become more popular since then, also in part due to articles like this.

Some folks were really trying to make the Gopher's name "Gordon", but it never really caught on. The gopher has no name.

Presumably those people were British and referencing an iconic 90s kids TV character?
