It is not about disturbing, it is about the intuitive name describing the
command. For instance, I still don't know what does "spork" mean that you
defended previously. It may have something to do with the fact that my
non-technical English is on pretty much low level (never needed to speak
in this language).

It's basically a combined spoon and fork that is pretty common at a lot of fast food restaurants (KFC, Taco Bell, etc). So that they don't have to give you both a spoon and a fork.

It was just a playful pun on the idea of fork, since that tends to have negative connotations.
