Well, you learn something new every day, if you stay awake.
(That's what my grandfather always used to say.)
I always pronounced it "meta city" (similar to "fat city").
I thought it was an appropriate name, since when used by itself
(i.e. without GNOME) you use the "Meta" key (i.e. the Alt key)
for just about everything!  Oh well.
