Not quite as bad as runc though https://github.com/opencontainers/runc/issues/24 (admittedly not an acronym but entertaining nonetheless)

That's not even true. "Runka" means jerking off. No Swede would associate "runc" with that (c on its own is never pronounced like k), especially in this kind of context.

It works in Finnish though. My first thought when seeing "runc" was "that must be the comic book sound effect for jerking off"... :)

My teenage Norwegian mind (not body) did smirk at the runc name. Runk and runc are pronounced the same there and have the same meaning as in Swedish/Finnish...

Not offending someone in some language somewhere is hard. I remember Honda nearly launched the Jazz with a different name in Europe. http://www.carscoops.com/2007/09/why-honda-didnt-call-fit-ja...
