If you bend the word a little, it’s called the “judgin’ ’em.”
I vote for a play on “jejune”: ‘displaying or suggesting a lack of maturity’

Yes, I agree, certainly a play on jejune as an adjective, which fits the behavior/attitude Cynthia is consciously enacting, to make the point.

There’s an order to these : Stomach, duodenum, jejunem, Ileum.
