How Pac Man got his name
 
Copied and pasted from a google search:

First released as "Puck-Man," the name was later changed to Pac-Man. The original Japanese name was Puckman, which evolved from the Japanese word paku, meaning "chomp." Given the closeness to a certain explicit four-letter English word, a lot of arcade operators at the time were worried that vandals would alter the letter P. Eventually, "Pac" was suggested as an alternate name. Hence the name "Pac-Man" came to be.

Interesting.

I read half of this and realised I already knew this. I have no idea how or when I learned this...but I did, obviously...probably when I was high.

If this thread would have been about Adam Pac-Man Jones, I would have murdered you with a wakeboard dipped in tar and fiberglass + herpes.

You probably watched Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World

Apparently they touched on the origins of the name in that movie
