and the g in gnu stands for gnu
Yeah, they missed the best part.
GNU stands for GNU’s Not Unix, which is a recursive acronym. And, when pronounced properly (like the animal) the G is silent. The entire Linux ecosystem has words that start with G based on an acronym where G essentially comes from nowhere, and isn’t actually pronounced.
Fun fact: The K in GNU stands for Kernel.

So if I’m getting it right, gobject is short for gnugnu(…)gnuimptklibobject.
It is front recursive so it’s really “…is not unix is not unix is not unix is not unix image manipulation program tool kit object” and that first g doesn’t exist.
Following the modern C conventions, the text following the series of (gnu) doesn’t matter and you can write anything you want there.

I think this is sarcasm, but just in case it isn’t… GNU is a recursive acronym for “GNU’s Not Unix”.
you’re not gonna believe this…
I’ve got g’news for you…
