Attempts to fix issue #69.

Word the paragraph such that a warning that an insult is incoming precedes the actual insult.
Don't actually spell out the insult.
Make it clear that the insult is not directed at the reader, or any other person.
Use a nice placeholder character to indicate that the insult is meant in jest, and not hostility.

More extreme alternatives:

Remove the line, leaving readers to choose on their own a pronunciation for the tool's name that they are comfortable with.
Rename the project, as faq is difficult to search online for anyway, due to the prevalence of the pre-existing term.
