It is Julian who mentions trencherman and the corruption of cannibal leading
to cannonball by a colleague. I was referring to my thinking like many
others I've encountered that because he had a reputation for having a hearty
appetite that it led to him having a "cannonball stomach", ya' kno' kinda
like a "beer belly"

 

Honestly, I had to look up trencherman in the dictionary as I had no clue
what it meant, can't recall ever encountering that word before I found that
interview snippet
