spherical bastard

History: Often attributed to the eccentric Swiss Astronomer Fritz Zwicky, who used it to refer to fellow astronomers at the Mt. Wilson Observatory as Spherical Bastards. "Because", in his words, "they were bastards, when looked at from any side".

Your bastardness is as as the planets you flap about, spherical. You're a spherical bastard.
