She was sometimes nicknamed "Codoi", referring to her alleged mispronunciation of the name of the chemical compound CO2 ("Co" being the C for carbon, O for oxygen, and "doi" being Romanian for "two").
She was mocked by many, including an official who called her by this nickname during her show trial.[15][16][17][18] Contributing to the humorous effect, "codoi" is an actual word in Romanian, meaning "big tail"[19]"
