This is a horrible name even for native english speakers. I still have to coach people not to giggle whenever I bring up LaTeX - unless it's exclusively vocally in which case the "lah-TECH" puts their mind elsewhere.
I kinda miss those times where you could talk about those Thinkpad clits at work and no one would bat an eye. The degree of puritanism of the new generation is a bit terrifying.
I don't think it's puritanism, it's just keeping things separate. In an office we're all there to work and not get embroiled in relationship drama - so calling that nub a clit is just unnecessarily bringing sex into things.
... in some (BDSM fahig?) circles? I know it's used there, but there are quite a lot of other things I think of before that. And some colleagues I just asked as well.
We had plenty of women in the lab, btw.
