Am I the only one who reads "reflog" as "re-flog", that is, to be painfully whipped again?

I knew about it for at least a year thinking it was "re-flog", and just considering it mysterious why they would have called it that. (You do often use it for "re"-doing things, maybe it's got something to do with that?) Hey, it was (and is) hardly the only mystery to me in git UI.

Then like a year on I suddenly realized Ohhhhh it's ref-log, that makes a lot more sense!

I will now forever. Reminds me of when you read "therapist" as "the rapist".
It's always Sunny in Philadelphia ruined "philanthropist" ("full on rapist") for me, forever.
You are not alone.
