It's a cheeky way to say @ protocol.

Maybe they could call it the Strudel protocol?

"The protocol formerly known as Strudel"?

I think to use the fetus the @ should represent a kernel, object, but in a generic form such / representing the top of the tree.

I can also see the term becoming controversial such male and female vs. plug and socket. Some see the former as blatantly sexual and the latter requiring dirty mind to be sexual.

Maybe it's best to hold off on that reference until we get more voices to chime in.

"Rocambole" would be even easier to search for

Ok, If I make a protocol I will call it "rocambole" but I will be thinking of the sand leek rather than the victorian fictional adventurer.

LOL I was mostly thinking of the swiss roll but I know it's only called rocambole in Brazil. It's got all sorts of names all over the world according to Wikipedia

I had no idea what it was. Those of what I found one seemed plausible and the other worth mentioning.

Glad it was something else entirely. The localization for Brazil can be rocambole.
