How to avoid saying "gstring"? [closed]

Question

I am picking up Groovy. The language is fine. But I have a non-technical problem. One of the classes is called GString. In some context, it can be misleading. And mentioning it is not very appropriate in the office, especially when some non-technical female colleagues are around.

I guess this is not enough to justify renaming the class in the language. So how should I avoid saying "GString" when I want to say GString?

Answer 1

Personally, I think you should just say "GString" and use the confusion and subsequent explanation to begin conversations with the non-technical female colleagues.

Answer 2

Other languages call these kind of strings with placeholders "interpolated strings", so you can use that, or potentially just call them "Groovy String".
