Grue and bleen, Bill.

That may be why it is not called a meta frobitz, and it is an
acknowledged naming pattern that object y which is derived from object x
also has a name containing within it the name of object x, nonetheless
this in no way indicates that any object which contains within its name
the name of object x is certain to be derived from object x. 

Note that object in this case is not just in reference to an object as
defined in OOP terms.
