Bad use of language - even if it's upstream's choice of words, it shouldn't be propogated.

Do we really need a "no bad language in comments" policy for Gentoo?

Comment 2 REdOG 2004-12-01 21:08:07 UTC

what about bitchx, brainfuck, and hashit ?
bitchx might be considered derogatory.
brainfuck certianly sounds indecent
and I suppose hashit doesn't sound too bad unless you realize its a library that well has shit or is to hash it ... regardless.


there is alot more...than I care to list but
just to grab a couple as the greps roll by:

/usr/portage/games-sports/race/files/0.5-gentoo.patch:+  playmusic("GENTOO_DATADIR/music/fuck.xm");

/usr/portage/games-misc/fortune-mod-kernelcookies/files/8-offensive.patch:-printk("(Readerror)");
/* Bitch about the problem. */

/usr/portage/eclass/common-lisp-common.eclass:  # Just remove the damn subtree
