      Unironic answer, the “g” is pronounced, but obviously like the g in give or great, not like j.

        That is why large companies don’t want you to find where it is. The application of proprietary condoms to GNU licensed body parts would taint them with gpl license.

    In case you were wondering the ‘w’ in ‘wine’ stands for ‘wine’, and the full acronym is ‘Wine Is Not an Emulator’. What do you think the ‘w’ in ‘Wine Is Not an Emulator’ stands for?

      As a younger teen trying to get starcraft running on my linux box, my parents were definitely upset when they saw me browsing “winehq”. They thought I was trying to get booze shipped to our house :D

      I once tried to play “PHP” in Scrabble and argued that it should be infinite points.

      The opponent didn’t agree.

      Well it kind of stands for nothing, because at the center of this onion is GNU, which is recursive. It stands for “GNU’s Not UNIX”, so the G in GNU stands for GNU.
