Yes but we don't use them in professional contexts.

There is no Dickheadsoft, no Drongo Ware. We haven't call any software C.U.N.T.

GIMP means the same thing here and it's just as unprofessional.

    My point is that due to British colonialization, English is now a diverse language that have diverse new word and regional meaning.

    GIMP in English Asia doesn't have bad connotation. Not in Singaporean English, not in Indian English.

    Making one standard of English is just reeks language colonialism.
