there's a popular free image editing program called GIMP (judging by the post id assume it's probably also open-source). Anyways, if you Google "GIMP" you'll probably see a lot of pictures of leather.
Why would I see leather when googling GIMP? I only associate gimp with the FOSS GNU Image Manipulation Progrsm
From Wikipedia:
"A bondage suit, also commonly called a gimp suit, is a form-fitting garment designed to cover the body completely [...] A bondage suit is sometimes used in BDSM to objectify the wearer, or gimp, and reduce them to the status of a sexual toy, rather than a sexual partner."
Kagi still put gimp.org as a search result for "gimp suit".
But I'm very surprised I didn't know this meaning of gimp, thanks!
Bring out the gimp
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Zed is dead.
Ah, yeah. The image had me thinking there was some other meaning for FOSS I didn't know about.
