Better tell the British to rename their Rapier Missile System https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapier_(missile) beause their love for the French language means using a word that sounds vaguely similar to a bad English word.

Different market. Guys, this is just marketing which empirically works. It's hilarious to listen to a bunch of developers who are probably not that good at marketing opine about how this name is just great.

I mean to be empirical one could focus-test. But a controlled focus-test is probably out of reach for a lone developer on a hobby project.
