Not tech support, but in tech, a software team with a bunch of naive Indian expats named one of the software sprints "mandigo" after Django Unchained. Only me and and Northern Irishman got it and we laughed our asses off.

First, you misspelled mandingo and, second, if they knew enough English to catch that word then they knew what they were doing, at least to a degree. In the movie the only time the term is said it's in a conversation about having slaves fight each other.

In short: calling that bullshit. Hell I'd bet $50 you haven't even watched the movie.
