The ending "-ad" ("-ada" in Romanian) was used ironically, since many of Ceauşescu's Communist manifestations had endings like this, for instance the annual national sporting event Daciad (in order to compare them either with an epic, like the Iliad or, rather, with the international Olympiad).
Golaniad |
Rime de bine, 1998 ("Good Rhymes") - ironic reference to how Ion Iliescu and his National Salvation Front called their supporters (oameni de bine, "good people") in contrast to their political opponents (golani, "hooligans" - see also the Golaniad)
