That glorious day when I explained to my boss what wiki is and that we should have one internally, he fired "viki" into google, with smoothly honed muscle memory clicked first result..and got full screen of poon.




At least you weren't the guy hitting a wall when trying to get a testing library integrated because it was named Testacular

Back in college we had an old program used to analyse oscilloscope data named ANAL.

I studied analytic combinatorics in grad school. Had to be sure not to abbreviate it to "anal comb".

At school we called our module analsyn for syntactic analyser. Good times.

When I told a co-worker about https://pypi.org/project/voluptuous/ he immediately searched for the name alone, got really wide-eyed and closed the tab, then told us not to do the same.

There was a markdown library called upskirt, the authors were bullied into renaming it. They called it Misaka, because that's an anime character that uses shorts under her skirt.

I asked to have LaTeX installed at one site, several years ago. The first Google results were eye-opening.

I had a student in one of my LaTeX classes back in the 90s who had a “I lust for latex” T-shirt.

Honestly, I'm not sure which interpretation is more concerning.

What was the first result? Mine is Rakuten Viki, a streaming service focused on Asian dramas that aren’t like what you described.

That was in the 2000s. Google was heavily SFW-ified since.
