People have in fact been getting rid of the term "spermy". https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/123

I had the perception that core Ruby developers were polite and civilized than core Linux developers. If Ruby had the same level of profanity as Linux, and the profanity came from those who originally worked on it rather than the newer members of core, I wouldn't have bothered reporting profanity. If the community is happy with non-discriminatory profanity, I won't complain about it.

I may have still reported discriminatory language, however. Even if I thought it'd most likely get rejected.

Can we get rid of "lame" at least, please?

Bug #5625: Remove profanity and pejoratives
http://redmine.ruby-lang.org/issues/5625

Author: Andrew Grimm
Status: Third Party's Issue
Priority: Normal
Assignee: Eric Hodel
Category: 
Target version: 
ruby -v: ruby 1.8.8dev (2011-05-25) [i386-darwin10.7.0] 


There are currently 6 lines with the f-word, 4 lines with "wtf" that weren't just random combinations of letters, and one line with "bullshit". 

While I personally dislike such profanity, the main benefit from getting rid of it is that it'd mean people of all ages could read Ruby's source code.

There's also three lines where "lame" is used as a pejorative. Using a group of people as a pejorative should be avoided.
