Your dictionary seems to be quite outdated, afaict Ubuntu means
"I'm pissed off by the powers being at Debian now"<wink>.

How many windows end users are capable of configuring Debian w/o
massive help from others?  My estimate is <5%; looking at u-users
the numbers for Ubuntu are only marginally better. OTOH both user
MLs are not representative for the average user.

Regards
