As a person with russian background I am laughing on the name of the project. With all the respect to the effort, I can’t take it seriously.

The «хули» (direct transliteration to huly) means “what a hell” or actually a bit spicier “what a f@ck”. This phrase is common for russian tradies who don’t bather to know anything but where is the nearest bottle shop and how much time left til the end of work shift.

The name reminded me PizData project from the russian speakers.

What. A. Joke.

C.f. 'git', which you probably do use and etymologically is obviously a bit rude and humorous too.

Merriam-Webster says:

> as in lunatic a person who lacks good sense or judgment

Not marked as rude or profane.

It's a British English word, so don't use Merriam-Webster [0]:

> a person, especially a man, who is stupid or unpleasant

Or [1]:

> If you refer to another person as a git, you mean you dislike them and find them annoying. [British, offensive, disapproval]
