Request: Rename "Mist"

i don’t know where i should post this… but i hope here is a developer…

My request ist:

changing “Mist” buttons (camera-setup and world-setup) to “Fog” buttons

because: Mist is a german word for bullshit (belive me or not)
i must laught, when i press this button every time

Here in America mist and fog are almost the same thing, though I think the term fog is used when it covers absolutely everything.

I never knew mist was a certain 4 letter german word with a derogatory meaning, it sure doesn’t mean that here.

I don’t think it’s necessay to rename that button.

There are a lot of words out there which in some language mean something “inappropriate”.

That bit of information is going to come in massively useful at some point in the future.:smiley:

Your information is wrong, wrong, wrong.

“Mist” is the German word for manure. “Bullshit” is shit produced by a bull (which would be “Stierenscheisse” in German). Of course, connotation is an entirely different thing.

By the way, the word is spelled “believe”. And it’s not just you, I see this misspelling so often it makes me want to cry. And while we’re at it, language names are spelled with Capital Letters.

So very true.

I remember a similar story on the naming of Rolls-Royce…
As they already had Silver Shadow /Silver Spirit etc the idea was to call one the Silver Mist. Upon hearing that Mist is manure in German, they canned that idea…

As to the changing of the button, that would be a bit much and open the doors to all kinds of changes. As this is the first such complaint that I know of, I say drop it…

But you are wrong, too…:wink:

it’s “Stierscheiße” - but nevertheless, it’s not a common word in german. Stierscheiße is called Gülle in german.:smiley:

Greetz from Germany,

S.

funny discussion. Since i think the original post was a joke :slight_smile:

i’d like to say, that fog is the more common term for this type of feature. fog, volume fog… if i would search this option, especially as a newbie in blender, i would search for “fog” and not for “mist”. in maya and max it’s called fog, too.

just my humble opinion. :slight_smile:

My bad, homie.

I think they should rename the Dutch city of Scheveningen, because in Japanese the pronunciation of that town means “perverted human being”. Seriously, it cracks Japanese people up just to know there’s a town with that name.

Mist is dutch for eeh, yes for mist!

Hahaha…:ba: Yeah but I think if you were to write using the English alphabet it would be ‘sukebe ningen’
But the pronunciation is pretty well much the same.

This became an interesting topic, but whatever, mist/fog, doesn’t make too much difference in my opinion.

off topic, sorry for that :slight_smile:

we(portuguese) had a football player called FUTRE he played at France for some time…

about Mist, i must say its a lot more charismatic than fog :stuck_out_tongue:

Huh. That explains most of my renders then…8-P

I think the name change is a great idea, it would lower the blender installer’s filesize by almost 4 bytes. :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, everytime I press the “env” button something weird happens to me… please, rename it.

This had me literally rolling on the floor.

There are way too many common words which have a dirty or vulgar meaning in other languages.

A few examples:

Germany Company “Siemens” pronounced Semen’s or is that Seamen’s? :wink:

In english you say Vixen to mean a female fox or a foxy lady. The same pronounciation is slang for “Jacking Off” in German.

Sega supposedly means “Jacking Off” in Italian. At least thats what a friend of mine told me. He always had a big laugh when we would play Sonic the Hedgehog. (“Seeeeegaaaaaa…”)

By the way there is actually a Town in Germany called “F*cking”. They get their roadsigns constantly stolen. :smiley:
