GIMP stands for GNU Image Manipulation Program and GNU stands for GNU’s Not UNIX and UNIX stands for Uniplexed Information and Computing Service so the full proper name for GIMP is actually:GNU’s Not Uniplexed Information and Computing Service Image Manipulation Program

@clacke GIMP, GNU, UNIX are all acronyms and they are the only acronyms in side the name of GIMP (that I can see) so it feels fully consistent to me to unpack them all.

@clacke hmm I think I follow what your saying but cant think of a different way to unpack the name cause indeed there are multiple levels of recession. you cant include GIMP in the unpacked version but you sort of have to include GNU cause otherwise there would be no G in at all. and UNIX isnt recursive so you can unpack it fully.

@Doshirae @sl2c Its a recursive acronym so it stands for itself and thus must be included

@wakest UNIX doesn't actually stand for anything (the "Uniplexed" should have given that away) - it's a play on Multics (both "Multics without balls", and uni- instead of multi- because UNIX was originally single-user), and Multics stood for "Multiplexed Information and Computing Service".
