Is there a nicer word for 'dogfooding'?

Wikipedia mentions "drinking our own champagne", but that does not have a nice ring to it.

@cccpresser Not aware of any but I think the term is great for reasons beyond the obvious (I've been meaning to write about that but haven't really found a way to express it properly).

Why do you dislike it?

kink, piss

@cccpresser @LilaHexe drinking their own champagne is what @kitten was doing earlier

@23n27 one variant to interpret this is "eating your own shit".

@cccpresser only ever encountered that; and as alternative term, selfhosting.

@cccpresser Okay I didn't think of that 😅

@werdahias hosting sounds like stuff with servers and services.

But what about tools you run on the commandline. There the term does not sound right - at least for me.

@cccpresser hm, right. I fear there exists no better option. But nothing that can't be changed

@cccpresser be your first customer?

@cccpresser Isn't it called dogfooding after a real event with the owner of a dogfood company saying that he testes the product himself or something?

@agowa338 wikipedia says so. But so what. It sounds ugly.
