Yes, which in turn apparently comes from Chinese.

We don't have gismu for the planets, but it would make sense to
use the same system there:

fagyplini - Mars
jaurplini - Mercury
mudyplini - Jupiter
jimplini - Venus
derplini - Saturn

I'm not sure about Uranus and Neptune, an the (now non-planet) Pluto.
