Codoi

Romanian Pronunciation ro /koˈdoj/ ro oj 2 Etymology 1 From ro codoi, augmentative of ro coadă tail. Proper noun m lui ro Etymology 2 A reference to a gaffe supposedly committed by Elena Ceaușescu, First Lady of the Socialist Republic of Romania. An uneducated woman with prestigious but unearned credentials in chemistry, she is alleged to have publicly misread the chemical formula mul CO₂ as “codoi”, reading the characters as if they formed a word, instead of separately, as in an abbreviation. This humorously coincides with the word ro codoi, an augmentative meaning “big tail”.
