“Waiting for protests at universities to change the Masters degree to Main degree.” Cracked me up.

I’ve never considered “master” branch anything odd, saying “master copy” makes sense. What about music? “Remastering” something... or the terminology around mastering a skill?

Things are a bit out of control. As people say if you look at that term and the first thought is race related that’s on you.

I could see a desire to remove the word “slave” from any replication business. Since the “s” word is directly loaded. But the “m” word has many other definitions outside of that.
