Who's a Yahoo?

Although we've already discussed in class that the search engine "YAHOO" comes from Gulliver travels, after reading the first two chapters of the fourth part, I still wonder what was the intention of the creators by naming it this way.

I understand that YAHOO means human, but it also means ignorant, primitive and inferior. Why question is then, does the name imply that we are YAHOOS because we depend on their service? That we are ignorant and rely on their illumination, and answers?

It could also be the other way around. The search engine is the YAHOO. It is our slave, and does all the primitive work that needs to get done. There is really not way of knowing. They could either be mocking us, or not. There is even the third possibility that it has nothing to do at all. Why? Maybe it just sounded catchy. Signifying nothing? As the answer to that question will remain unknown for the rest of our time on earth, I'd say that we ought to forget about it and just keep on with the reading.
