It's 100% intentional wordplay! "Doxxing" documents by exposing their contents in the terminal instead of keeping them locked in Microsoft Word. The whole project is about "liberation from Office" so the pun felt perfect. I'm honestly not too creative so I was bouncing around with Google Gemini on some "clever" names.

Some people may not want to have a tool called "doxx" installed on their work machines, FWIW.

This is such a non-issue, it's just a name.

If someone asks about it "It's a tool to view docx files", end of conversation

We've got `git` (an insult), `kill` (violent), `slack` (not doing work) and `fsck` (looks like fuck). Doxx seems ok to me too.

I've seen the `itsdangerous` [1] package (which is a dependency for lot of Python projects) raise some eyebrows several times.

I get the sense you've never worked under the oppresive thumb of dashboard-driven enterprise IT, heh
