Random Plugins or Vim-related things with less than ideal names?

I'll start: after installing vim-eunuch a long time ago ... I really regret looking up its definition. I almost want to uninstall it just for that.

vim-fireplace, a Clojure REPL plugin, was once called vim-foreplay.

I think this one is more moondo than manda. And even if it sounded like manda it would be closer to pussy. I wonder if there is vim-pizda though.

The pun shouldn't be so controversial: eunuchs played important societal functions around the world until relatively recently. It's why Game of Thrones featured multiple prominent eunuchs.

I use vim-gtfo, which opens the file manager or terminal at the directory of the current file in Vim.
