Rhubarb—originally grouped with the vegetables, reimagined as a fruit, known to grow wild in Russia, delicious when properly prepared, revolting when not, weathers the winter, and what I’ll be calling myself from here on in.

Also, from Wikipedia: “It is or was common for a crowd of extras in acting to shout the word "rhubarb" repeatedly and out of step with each other, to cause the effect of general hubbub. As a result, the word "rhubarb" sometimes is used to mean "length of superfluous text in speaking or writing."”
