The kicker is this would have worked with any random first letter, eg ANU - so why would they pick 'G' which pronounces like dogshit since G-N are both consonants with no vowel-like sound between them.
Just another layer of freetism

There is actually an answer for this.
Gnu was the only real 3 letter word that ends in nu in English.
The g is silent though, so to differentiate you're supposed to pronounce it.
And when people discovering it mispronounce it as the known silent g word, we are given the opportunity to make one of the better relevant jokes:

Because a gnu is that goat-like-animal-thing they use as a mascot.

So GNU is not only recursive, but also *overloaded*? The 'tism overcomes me.

You know, sometimes it's better to make less sense.

GNU HURD goes even further in terms of autism.
>"Hurd" stands for "Hird of Unix-Replacing Daemons". And, then, "Hird" stands for "Hurd of Interfaces Representing Depth". We have here, to my knowledge, the first software to be named by a pair of mutually recursive acronyms.

I didn't claim it was.
He described it, but did he demonstrate it or were people already demonstrating it before him but he explained the mechanism behind it?

Completely wrong.
PIP spits out incomprehensive errors and then selfdestructs.

You just use the proper Latin/Roamised/whatever pronounciation of the letters.
Same as GUI turning into G-U-I, or gooey sound for the Latin alphabet impaired among us.
X(ks)-N-U(like oo in moot, just shorter)

Its basically the same as pouring liquid nitrogen on your hand or other part of the body. Just don't pour it on your clothes or hair - you will get severe burn.
