Help me think of some cool words...

[Azndude51]

I have a 16 minute high school eytmology project for tomorrow, 8 minutes is for my Powerpoint/speech but I have that all finished. The other 8 minutes is for a "class activity," which means a game, quiz, crossword puzzle, or whatever. My topic is technobabble and I'm going to make a multiple choice quiz, I give them a word and they have to pick out the correct definition. So please help me come up with words from "the military, the sciences, mathematics, engineering, law, medicine, information technology and marketing" that no one in my class will know, the crazier and wierder the word, the better. Also include a quick definition if you can and you can even make up words that sound complicated, but aren't even real words. Maybe even some complicated phrases in 1337 5p34k.

Cliff notes:
Give me REALLY complicated, or unheard of words from technology, the military, the sciences, mathematics, engineering, law, medicine, information technology and marketing that no one will know of or hear of, along with quick definitions. Real sounding, complicated fake words are okay. Maybe even some complicated phrases in 1337 5p34k.
