Since this thread has resurfaced, I'll speak up too. And my
not-so-humble opinion is: It's just a word--get over it.
Generally, I try to avoid these words in mixed company, since other
people dislike them, sometimes very strongly. But in this case,
Brainfuck already has an established name. We should use it, even if a
couple people won't understand that it wasn't our idea to call it that.
