Honest to gods, this conversation happened today, and it may have cost me a job opportunity. The customer was super impressed with my menu design and animation, and wanted to know who we got it from. When I said I did it, their face lit up! Too bad as soon as i said GIMP, they weren't interested anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? What do you say in similar situations?

It's funny, because I'm not a native speaker and Gimp means.. well.. this software. I only learned what it meant years later.

What does it mean?

The Gimp is the name of a character in the movie Pulp Fiction.

It's a bondage term

A movie is a series of fast movies images paired with a soundtrack to make it look like its a real moving image. Pulp Fiction is a movie.
Characters are fictional people and things in a movie.
