Funfact: PQ is short for toilet paper in French So libpq always cracks me up. But then again there's a theorem prover called Coq (which is indeed pronounced as you imagine, it means rooster) and it's been named by French researchers at INRIA!

Ok, let's talk about this... pico, the editor and SI prefix, means "dick" in at least some Spanish-speaking countries... Source of endless nerd jokes.

As an American, I feel like I have to deliberately mis-pronounce 'coq' the theorem prover like 'coke' the soda.
