Sorry. What is a solon? You mean like hair care and nails? $200/year?

I am confused.

Solon was a wise, ancient Greek law-giver.

Use of "solon" to refer to any given legislator is generally tongue-in-cheek with regards to the "wise" part.

IOW, 99.44% of the time, it's most likely used for veiled disdain or disapproval.
