Konrad: How do you feel about GOGlins? GOGlings? GOGermeisters?
I've always liked Goglings, but got chided for not using Goglodytes.

Goglodyte still sounds like an insult to me.

Konrad: GOGlins?
The people who keep things running here.

Your interns? Marketing? Who knows...

Konrad: GOGermeisters?
Obviously Marcin Iwinski and Guillaume Rambourg...

Tekkaman-James: Personally, I have always been a fan of GOGlodyte. I know that calling someone a "troglodyte" is mean to be an insult to people who are stuck in the past, but I don't associate that same definition to people who use GOG. I just like the way it sounds. :P
While it's easily interpreted as insulting if used towards others while not including oneself, I would rather guess (or even say? I think I was among the first to use it, but can't remember if I coined it or merely joined in) it's more intended to be a comical form of self-deprecation.

I would assume that we who consider ourselves GOGlodytes wear that badge with a twisted form of pride, but I can certainly understand that reading it prefixed with "you" (rather than "I", "me", "we", or "us") can be seen as insulting, and I would like to take this moment to apologise to everyone who have felt insulted by the term (whether uttered by me or another, as I am not only one of those who try to increase its use, but also one of the earliest proponents for its use) and to make it clear that I would never intentionally use it for that purpose (at least, I always include myself).
