Is this the same as a long John? If not what is it?

Bjorri, from my experience in talking to native English speakers, some
of them call it a farmer john, and some of them also call it a long
john. There's quite a bunch of native English speakers all over this
globe, many of whom use completely different expressions from one
another for exactly the same objects. IIRC Bill's a representative of
the Californian variety of native English speakers. :-)
