mainbating

The process of changing the word "master" to something else, to avoid upsetting anyone who may be offended by the cultural reference to the slave trade. The word "main" is taken from the decision by GitHub to rename the default branch from "master" to "main"
I see someone has been mainbating again and has changed MasterChef to MainChef
