Long John
One-legged sea rogue
Long John is a type of filled doughnut, oblong rather than round, typically topped with chocolate or maple frosting: I'll have a Long John and a coffee.
The shape resembles long underwear, also called long johns—one-piece thermal undergarments covering the legs and torso.
The name evokes length generally, appearing in various contexts from pirates (Long John Silver) to basketball players with unusual reach.
