I'm sure it wasn't the intention, but often we forget that inside jokes don't translate well to a wider audience. I hope I don't need to link to the extensive literature documenting the myriad ways sexist language and imagery makes for a hostile environment for female programmers. Something more inclusive would be better, even just "machine guns"?

@benkehoe thank you for your remark. We indeed did mean no harm.

We will discuss this within our team and will figure out a new name.
Better suggestions are of course welcome.

I think the name of this project is awesome. What's problematic is the use of Grunt and CoffeeScript. Have you considered adopting the Closure Rules instead?

Closure Rules offers a hermetically sealed way to run PhantomJS with Google Noto Fonts that's deterministic and reproducible across all Linux platforms. It's so deterministic that you can do screenshot tests with binary file comparison. It's out of control.
