There is currently a proposal to change the heading of the 'Pimp my

I know that GIMP as well already gets people into arguments, but I think
changing it to "Improve my GIMP" or something similar will simply
increase the acceptance of the manual and lower the possibility for
people feeling offended.
Any objections?
I am surprised. At least in the USA, the usage of "Pimp My" is in pretty
common usage to mean "make something overtly / excessively fancy /
gaudy". This is so widely used, that it had never occurred to me that
someone might find it offensive. So...... I asked my wife, who said "I
don't like the phrase", and my six year old said "what is a pimp?" I
told her it was a mean horrible criminal who usually dresses very fancy
to stand out.
No objections...
