On nomenclature I have thought there should be a term for a definition

theme Fernando Gelbard's definitions come to mind for consistent
political incorrectness though I think they rarely scored well.

Ah, there you go, Jim. Fernando! There is a piece of history worth delving into. Whither Fernando (or Ferdinand Sanz, as he was alternately known)? Who here knows when/why he left the game? Is anyone still in touch with him? One of the funniest people alive!
