For a long time I used the music player ncmpcpp. The name makes perfect sense if you already know what it means and how it relates to other things.
No Cunts Music Player (written in) C Plus Plus. that’s my guess
It did make sense at one point. They implemented a music player with a daemon part and a client part, so from that you had the mpd server and mpc client. Someone wrote an ncurses frontend for the client, naturally called ncmpc. Iirc that person abandoned it and someone else took over with a new iteration. ncmpcpp. But it really is a bad name.
That’s a cool story though. But yeah the name is a bit lettersoupy
