Polonium Cocktail

1. A mixed drink. It can be made with any combination of liquers or soft drinks. The only salient ingredient is Polonium 210 (Po-210). Po-210 is an alpha emitter that has a half-life of 138.376 days. A milligram of Po-210 emits about as many alpha particles per second as 4.5 grams of Radium-226. As such, an extremely small amount (50 nanograms!) that is ingested will result in a painful death that takes several weeks to complete. Hence a Polonium Cocktail is NOT something you want to order from your bartender.

Po-210 poisioning is an assassination technique that was developed by the KGB in the 1970s. The Po-210 poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in 2006, allegedly by former KGB agents Andrei Lugovoi and Dmitri Kovtun, after Litvinenko wrote scathing books about Vladimir Putin, shows that the assassination technique is still in use by the current Russian trauponcracy.
If you criticize Vladimir Putin, he'll send you a Polonium Cocktail. Just ask Alexander Litvinenko. Wait, you can't, because he's dead.

Plotanium

Jonathan: So how did they turn the planet Vulcan into a black hole?

Richard: Oh, they used red matter, of course. Don't worry about how it works, it's 100% pure plotanium.

Plutonium 

A naturally radioactive, silvery, metallic transuranic element, occurring in uranium ores and produced artificially by neutron bombardment of uranium. Its longest-lived isotope is Pu 244 with a half-life of 76 million years.
I just ate a few pounds of plutonium.

Polonium Radon 

The periodic table version of porn, often selected over other ionic compounds because the two elements' symbols together create the compound PoRn, spelling porn.
Man 1: Hey man, did you catch that PoRn last night?
Man 2: Aw yeah, the atoms in the Polonium were so raw, and it went well with the gassy Radon.
Man 1: Polonium Radon is the best!
