👉 Scalapack is a funny term that comes from the slang term "scallywag," which literally means a scrawny person. It's kind of like saying you're not really good at something but everyone thinks you are because you fit the stereotype.
Let me give an example: Say you're at the beach and you see a group of people dressed up as pirates wearing pirate masks, hats, and armors. Suddenly, they all start talking in their own language. "Hello, pirate! Hello, pirate!" The response is: "Oh, hello there! What's up with these pirates?" They reply, "Well, we just thought you'd like to play 'pirate' game." Scalapack isn't a bad pun or funny word but it's kind of unsettling and can sometimes be too playful for its own good.
