…you know, naming things after small pebbles is less cringe than being called “bootsie” (Caligula).

(Both words are similar by coincidence: calx “chalk/limestone”→ calculus “pebble” vs. caliga “boot” → caligula “little boot”. I’m not aware of any word like caligulus, at most caliculus “little cup” ← calix “cup”. inb4 sorry I probably just explained a joke, but I couldn’t resist.)
