Out of the confusing twists and turns of [[Techno Babble]] and [[Expospeak]] come the [[Sci Fi Name Buzzwords]]. These are short word components that can be clicked onto an existing word [[We Will Use Wiki Words in Thethe Future|portmanteau style]] to make it sound more sciencey.
 
These tend to rise and fall in favor over time. Using one from a different era can give your technology a retro, period feel. Note that in the Victorian age, on which most [[Steampunk]] is based, it was common to name things using Latin compound words, i.e. quadro-velocipede, electro-fulminator (both from ''[[Legend (TV series)|Legend]]'').
 
Tack on more than two, and you're off in parody land.
