Mugwump?

I thought many years ago, vaguely, that it had political connotations, but
wasn't interested enough to find out what it was about.

Then I heard the "fence-sitting" explanation and enjoyed that; and (again
vaguely) believed that not only was it thus self-explanatory but also that
it "retro-fitted" its original meaning.

So both the original political meaning, and the more recent frivolous
meaning, were "a person who will not commit themselves to one side or the
other".

I have no idea where eithe one came from. 8-)
