the g in gobject stands for glib, and the g in glib stands for gtk, and the g in gtk stands for gimp, however the g in gimp stands for gnu, so really the g in glib stands for gnu, but you shouldn't confuse it with gnulib, which is developed by the gnu project, who shouldn't be confused as the developers of glib, which is the gnome project, in which the g also stands for gnu
@hailey
As I understand it, gnu stands for gnu, not unix, which means the g resolves as "not unix".

@androcat The name “GNU” is a recursive acronym for “GNU's Not Unix.”

The GNU Operating System and the Free Software Movement

Since 1983, developing the free Unix style operating system GNU, so that computer users can have the freedom to share and improve the software they use.

@amszmidt

Hence my joke.

In math "x=not-y" means x can be replaced by not-y, which means almost any "g" in a linux acronym ought to be replaceable with a "nu"

I'd wait until you got it, but I don't think there's any risk of that.

The linux reply guys are really a breed apart.
