Spanish

the fourth most spoken language on Earth (after body, Chinese, and what's-it-called). Because of its high saturation of words and numerous associations to the number 43, atomic number of technetium, it is considered to be a radioactive language, which decays by alpha-particle emission to Latin.

Our map was in Spanish a few minutes ago. Now it's all in Latin, and it glows too.

Tungsten

A metallic element on the periodic table with an atomic number of 74. It has the highest melting point of all metals and is otherwise cool.

When I said I wanted some tungsten, I did not mean molybdenum. Tungsten pwns molybdenum any day of the Muslim calendar.

Eh!Steve

A bulky brown Greco-Roman-appearing-type person from Sweet Cuppin' Cakes. He always appears at least once every episode to say his catch phrase, "EH!STEVE", and is always on the run from a wheelchair voiced by Bubs.

I don't know why that wheelchair hates Eh!Steve, but what else makes sense about Sweet Cuppin' Cakes.

opera

A very fine browser, perhaps the best one out there, with nicer users than Firefox.

Opera's users don't try to forcefully convert people like Firefox's users.

Eszett

That would be me, sir.

So Eszett was walking along the streets of Haddonfield, and he saw Paul Dochney and Eszett said "Hi" to him. Good times.

allotrope

one of at least two different forms of an element. Different allotropes of a substance often have very different properties from each other; e.g. white phosphorus (P4) is a highly reactive and toxic substance that glows in air due to its high reactivity and possesses a molecular structure, while red phosphorus (the stuff used to make strikers on match boxes) is a non-toxic substance that has a polymeric structure.

White tin is a shiny, electrically conductive metal usefull for plating cans to prevent corrosion, while gray tin is a semiconductor that possesses no uses whatsoever
