Fans discuss the historical reference to Caligula mentioned in the episode, clarifying it refers to the Roman emperor known for sexual excess and the 1980s film about him.
Caligula is not a "what" it is a "who".
He was an ancient Roman emperor. If I remember my history correctly, among other things, he had very peculiar sexual fetishes.
Now that I think about it, technically, Caligula could also be considered a "what" because there was a movie of the same name made about this emperor back in the mid to late 80's.

Isn't there a flaming feminist with that last name. I can't think of her name now, but her last name may be Caligula. Of course I am also known to be really terrible with names and that may explain it, but when I heard that on Seinfeld, I thought of her.
How about the Roman Emperor Caligula? The one with the lust for his own sister. (Check out HISTORY LAID BARE for the details.)
Amusingly, I think you are confusing Caligula with Camille Paglia...nice try.
Caligula was a Roman emperor. Check out the early 1980's Bob Guccione production starring Malcolm McDowell.
Caligula was notorious for huge orgies which featuried huge feasts of food as well
Also one of Caligula's mottos was "keep cookin' with Crisco".
