GNU Terry Pratchett is a common phrase in the Discworld fandom. The phrase GNU is first introduced in the novel Going Postal and is used as a way to keep a dead man’s name alive by continuing to say it. After Terry Pratchett died in 2015 many fans use the phrase in posts, tags, art, fanfiction, or other works relating to Terry Pratchett (and sometimes not relating to Terry Pratchett).

“A man’s not dead while his name is still spoken.”
