In the process of reacquainting myself with our second president I learned a fun fact about this otherwise very serious man. Word is that when George Washington was president, and the newborn society was debating on what to call it's leader, Adams preferred titles such as "His Majesty the President" or "His High Mightiness" over "The President of the United States of America". Adams' stance, in combination with his stout frame, inspired the community to nickname him, "His Rotundity".
