Meanwhile I still don't know what gimp is besides it being a graphics software.

A gimp is any of the following:

A cripple
A particular kind of BDSM role
Twisted silk, worsted, or cotton with cord or wire running through it, used chiefly as upholstery trimming.
(in lacemaking) coarser thread which forms the outline of the design in some techniques.
fishing line made of silk bound with wire.

The last three I got from the internet.

Ok, now the name is actually weird.

"Eww, like the coarser thread which forms the outline of the design in some lacemaking techniques!? That is just a bit gross don't you think?"
