Personally, I think the question you just asks renders you silly (and arrogant)
for presuming to speak for 'the rest of the English-speaking world'.
This is an issue on which opinions *are* divided within 'the
English-speaking world'.
I personally have never seen the movie 'Pulp Fiction' on which the
interpretation of GIMP as offensive seems to come, and while I agree
that 'Pulp Fiction' is fairly famous, I believe it's rather
America-centric to assume every English speaker holds that
association.
