Just added a PR for the spermy operator (~>).


For those wondering, here's the request: https://github.com/JuanitoFatas/what-do-you-call-this-in-rub...

Here's the response: Hi Christian, thanks for the Pull Request! But I think this is not appropriate rubygems/rubygems#124. :bow:


Can someone explain to me, why this is not appropriate?


Sperm comes from ejaculate. Ejaculation is a bodily function. Bodily function is likely not going to be proper in a professional environment.


Really? What about sleep/wake?


Specifically, sex makes many people uncomfortable. Sure, it's natural function but it's not a topic many people are comfortable talking about openly. Not me but you can understand how this would be a sensitive enough topic for enough people that they'd leave it out, no?
