UNIX is derived from eunuchs which is what it was originally referred to as it was
a cutdown version of another operating system (ie. no balls).

I thought everyone knew that back in the 60's General Electric (along with
others who I can't remember) developed a system called MULTICS (Don't ask
me what that stood for!) Anyway, the system was a real dog! Slide rules
and abacuses were faster. The name UNIX was a pun for the MULTICS system.
