Google trawl:
NYTimes reported on the use of Pegasus spyware in Mexico
Pegasus is a constellation
Nelson once commanded a ship called Pegasus
Putin once ordered that a Turkish Pegasus Airlines plane be shot down, according to the Kremlin.

Apart from the word itself, I've found no other connection.

The name Pegasus is not the solution, but there was a hint in my previous post.

I figured Pegasus wasn't the solution because it was one of the 4 items given, but I don't see any other connection. Maybe I'm just too unimaginative.

I'll post the answer tomorrow if no one else wants to take a stab at it.

Solution: All are associated with squares (Times Square, Square of Pegasus, Trafalgar Square, Red Square).

So the question should have been
"What's the connection between Trafalgar, Red, Times and Pegasus?"

Giving clues to the clues is too hard - it's meant to be a fun coffee break quiz not a Mensa test!

Of course, keep it simple. How thoughtless of me not to remember that!

True, but I don't think there are any male ones.

Whitespace, Malbolge, Piet, False, and many others most of which are either too obscure or too trivially googlable. Or rude.
