#unobtanium

like tungsten is literally just heavy stone. Like yeah, it is a heavy stone. But it doesn’t even use any cool Latin. there could be a new element discovered called “helicopterkillium” because it is used for helicopters but it can kill you.

Unfortunately, the only known substance with that trait exists not on Earth, but on the forest moon of Pandora where it is known as "Unobtanium." Pandora is inhabited by a people called the Na'vi, who have every right to live in peace despite the encroachments of RDA, who sell the substance for millions of dollars back on Earth. Though this makes sense from an economic standpoint despite the cruelty of it all, the weird thing is that RDA has shifted to harvesting whale snot, which is stated to be far less valuable an even more difficult to obtain, but whatever, the fight scene was awesome and I hope they still get to make a third movie.

right on the nose

Unobtanium is an old engineering meme, I can absolutely see somebody naming a newly discovered metal that if it had desirable properties for engineering.
