Funny Name: What's the Bo Status? Edition

When I got to this recipe from Recipes: Homemade Happiness (compiled by Rev. and Mrs. Floyd Miller (Marie) for the Archdale, NC Wesleyan Women, 1994), I figured there had to be some kind of explanation for the name. 

There's no hint in the book about what makes these "Could-Be-Bo-Biscuits." I figured it must be a southern thing that I knew nothing about and assumed an internet search would clear the mystery right up. But all I found were recipes trying to copy the Bo-Berry Biscuits, which are apparently a sweet treat served at Bojangles restaurants. Given that those are loaded with blueberries and topped with a sweet glaze-- these are definitely not trying to be Bo-Berry Biscuits. So I still have no clue what makes them "Could-Be-Bo." Maybe it's the use of flavorless shortening instead of butter? Maybe it's the hint of powdered sugar? Or maybe it's just some family joke that got into the regional cookbook, and half a dozen people have any idea what it's about. All I know is...
