Actually, good point. If you actually need to explain the holiday to someone, it won’t work as well, but if you just need to say to your mother “I’m going over to Fred’s for Baconmas” she’ll probably assume you’re doing something too silly to be offensive.
By the name, I assumed it was a holiday for the delicious kind of bacon, rather than Sir Francis Bacon.
I can only imagine how it would be for those even less familiar with science than the average Less-Wrongian.
