Evidently, I have permission to pass this along. :-).

Don't try this at home, boys and girls. This is a professional neologist at
work...

that's pretty funny, rhymes with irradiated -- nice connotations of
radioactive material with radioactive half-lives spewing
life-hazardous neutron radiation ;-)

Helps that palladium is in fact a heavy metal.  Man, perhaps Pd even
_has_ a half-life on the decay path from plutonium down to lead or
something.  That would be very funny.
