I always thought it was a clever sex pervert acronym for
Graphic
Image
Manipulation
Program
And we're pronouncing it JIMP?
gust take your upvote and jet out of here
Its actually GNU image manipulation program, so pretty much.
Or "Green Is My Pepper" if you ask RMS...
it stands for GNU is Not Unix Image Manipulation Program....
wait it is GNU is Not Unix is Not Unix Image Manipulation
oh no, they put a recursion in the name!!!
GNU Incredible Magic Projector.
If it did circles, it'd destroy half the world.
I've come to think of it as a (really) good thing - no financially motivated tech megacorp is gonna sell a monthly "sub to Gimp".
(Tho a clothes rental company might.)
Leather clothes, at that.
YouTube apparently censors "GIMP"

What "Gimp" could stand for?
GNU image manipulation program.

Virgin Media would like a word
I knew they were British, so I always assumed it had something to do with the whole Virgin Queen thing(it was and is a nickname for Elizabeth the first) or something like that, but it was apparently because they considered themselves virgins in business when they started their first record store.
I thought Richard Branson just liked sex
See, most people have no clue that "gimp" is a sex thing. They just see it as a funny-sounding acronym. In an actual work meeting, the people who do know wouldn't say anything about it to avoid being seen as the weird ones.

I use GIMP at work. It's officially approved in a very tightly restrained environment, literally in a repository of software people can install from. At an enterprise with thousands of employees.
I'm pretty sure only people who know what it is install it, never heard anyone so much as mention it.
