As Simmy started typing, she thought, 'Ouch! Why are my fingers so sensitive?'
"Oh! Ha! Ha! It's that thermoplastic adhesive that linked to my fingers as I was fitting these rough-cut 'cross-linkable' polymers together. Ooh, that hurts!"
It took about 7 hours but, the 'rough- cut diamond tree' was ready for display.
'No! They're not real ice. They're re-purposed ice- acrylic ice!'
One thought led to another and soon Simmy had the scientific name for the tree...
The Cross- Linkable Polymer Tree- "Boy, does that lose the Romance in the translation."
She posed a mock-up and put on her ad voice, "Come see the 'Cross-Linkable Polymer Tree' created by the artist 'El Unique.' Oh wait, that's a double meaning... and so is that... and that...
Scientists may have the technical terms but it takes a wordsmith to come up with,
"The Hot Ice Tree!"
