Let it go Paul. It's like the word "hacker". We ain't getting it back.

It's sad the popular perception of a fundamental computer science concept, the great progeny of Al-Khwarizmi Musa, the life work of heroes like Donald Knuth, is sullied and stained with dire B-movie comic-book Bond villainy. Thank the hooligan broligarchs and their manchild ambitions for trashing that bit of computing culture.

Even my mum spits in the dust like a cowboy at the sound of "Algorithm".

It might be easier to convince the people at the CS department to name the "algorithms" class something else.
