It appears to be a bastardized version of Doric: rising directly from the stylobate without a base, as the Greeks did it - yet unfluted, as the Romans did with their Tuscan take on Doric, though not as slender. Also it lacks visual tweaks that would make it elegant like the Parthenon.
Stop using Layman's terms. Your vocabulary is pathetic.
Just so you know, I believe Layman's terms refer to terminologies that an average person can understand.

The technical terms are pippypoos and doodads. The Romans liked those.Stop using Layman's terms. Your vocabulary is pathetic.
