Periodic Table of Spelling

The Game Room
1

Here’s an idea I’ve been toying around with for a while… The Periodic Table of Spelling! The idea is simple - the goal is to construct words using only the 1 or 2 letter abbreviations from the Periodic Table of Elements. For consistency, elements shall be taken from Wikipedia:

Rules are:

  1. As said above, words must be constructed from one or two letter abbreviations from the Periodic Table (none of that Uub nonsense)
  2. Words, phrases, sentences should be correctly spelled and grammatically correct - though Rule of Cool allows exceptions in awesome cases.
  3. Words should be spelled as the abbreviations are written caps would be written as CaPS
  4. Using fewer abbreviations is better - for a recursive example, silicon could be written as SILiCON, but it is far cooler to write it as SiLiCoN
  5. I have a scoring system in mind, rewarding length of sentences, but for now I just want to see if people are interested in this game.

Okay, so here is my first submission:

What? It does!
Your turn.

Not really a sentence, but a way to paraphrase the Queen of England’s lesser, and less frequently used, titles:

Hee, I used to do this all the time in my high school chemistry class. (This may explain why I never learned any chemistry.)

BISmUTh and SILiCoN are interesting because they both appear in the periodical table themselves, as Bi and Si. I don’t think there are too many other elements whose names consist of a sequence of chemical symbols other than their own, or even including their own.

Hehe, I’m liking these responses. Next step is to convert the entire Bible…

Here is another of mine, which is fairly flexible. It works best if your name (let’s say X) as well as the name of the object of your desires (let’s say Y) are both in some way writable in this format. Then we can have your very own, 3rd person, Periodic Table love note!

X LiKEs Y. S/He ThINKS S/He IS VErY CuTe. AlSO S/He IS NiCe PErSON. SHe HAs NiCe KNoCKErS (if applicable).

Then throw my example of AcTiVAtEs BONErS and your lovelife will never be the same!

Oh, and in case anyone cares, my RL name can be written like this (1st initial and surname), and the girl I like can have her first name and surname written like this (with a minor fudge). This is destiny! I’ll tell you if it works. And yes, that last line is applicable :wink:

The important part is that you can spell FUCK, MoThErFUCKEr, and COCKSUCKEr.
