Wonder if the name supposed to suggest a meatball
Just kidding, Matt. However, I've found that one can sometimes successfully cloak political comment in circumambage. For instance, I collect words underused in everyday speech but of more precise meaning.* By the sheerest coincidence two I made note of just this morning were "rubric" and "kleptocracy," when it immediately occurred to me that the present Administration might be referred to as a rubric of kleptocracy
*(I call them "Type-2" but can't supply a link to the appropriate thread because after several years I am still unable to succesfully navigate WordSmith's search algorithm so maybe somebody else more diligent will do so)
