Out of the confusing twists and turns of Techno Babble and Expo Speak come the Sci-Fi Name Buzzwords. These are short word components that can be clicked onto an existing word portmanteau style to make it sound more sciencey. Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })These tend to rise and fall in favor over time. Using one from a different era can give your technology a retro, period feel. Occurs frequently in Steam Punk, based on the perception that it was common to name things using Latin compound words, i.e. quadro-velocipede, electro-fulminator (both from Legend). This was actually a feature of Georgian scientific culture, which is what Lovecraft was imitating. Tack on more than two, and you're off in parody land. A Super Trope to SpaceX, Photoprotoneutron Torpedo. |
