Many English speaking countries, I'm sure the US is more the exception than the rule in this case.

Of course, 'git' is also an insult.

[esperent]

Git is a fairly mild insult though, roughly equivalent to calling someone annoying. I'm sure at least a few of us have thought Git (the tool) to be aptly named, from time to time.

And here I thought it was redneck for "get" like that's where ya git yer code from.

Linus once quipped "I'm an egotistical bastard, and I name all my projects after myself. First 'Linux', now 'git'."

[johnisgood]

Is "fanny" an insult at all?

[staticfish]

Yes, in Britain it is, you fanny.

[esperent]

That one is specifically British though. Or perhaps even just English, I can't imagine a Scottish person using it.

[staticfish]

So what? The answer to the question is still yes.

[johnisgood]

Damn! That was fannier than I expected. Lmao.

It was also equivalent to "bro" in the late 90s, at least in some circles in the US.
