Not to be confused with flat-out bastard

boy have i never been happier to be an oblate basterdal spheroid

Assume the bastard is a sphere in a vacuum, to make the math easier.

It’s a near perfect term, but I feel like it doesn’t quite capture the phenomena fully just because it sounds like something uncommon or even rare.

Which in my experience, these are quite common.

Especially in the corporate world.

But I don’t have a simpler alternative either, so I guess it’s the best we got.

“Earth isn’t a sphere, Earth is flat.”

“You’re a sphere.”

Bastard ball
