    “Git” is only really a word in British English which implicitly gives it lower worldwide cultural penetration than a general English term. For most non-British programmers (and honestly I would imagine many British ones given how ubiquitous Git VC is now), “Git” refers to the software first and the pejorative second, if they’ve even heard of the latter before.
