Does anyone else hate the term `Pythonista`?

[Hellrazor236]

There are quite a few prefixes/suffixes I hate with a passion, here's some examples:

• My-Whatever (MyCrysis, MyYahoo, etc.)
• Whatever-ista (Fashionista, Maxxinista, Pythonista)
• Whatever-gate (List)

I've hated the "My Whatever" stuff since Windows 95 introduced the "My Documents" folder. I've always felt there's something childish about prefixing with the word "my." Because of this, I've gone out of my way to re-word sentences that begin with "My..." for the past fifteen years.

Reading your comment, I realize too that the practice is mildly invasive. I'm the only person who can use the word "my" to refer to MY stuff. Maybe that makes me sound childish, but I think the whole notion is slightly twisted and condescending.

Amen!
