Try to spell words using the symbols of chemical elements from the periodic table. (FYI, the words don't have to make sense to a chemist, but they do need to make sense to a linguist.)

Good example: VSAuCe = Vanadium + Sulfur + Gold + Cerium

Bad example: TaArDsIS = Tantalum + Argon + Darmstadtium + Iodine + Sulfur

I'm introducing a new rule: symbols for elemental isotopes are also acceptable.

TArDIS = Tritium + Argon + Deuterium + Iodine + Sulfur
XeNoN = Xenon + Nobelium + Nitrogen

DAmNIT = Deuterium + Americium + Nitrogen + Iodine + Tritium
DArNIT = Deuterium + Argon + Nitrogen + Iodine + Tritium

Bonus challenge: make words using one-letter element symbols
BITCOIN = Boron + Iodine + Tritium + Carbon + Oxygen + Iodine + Nitrogen
FIB = Fluorine + Iodine + Boron
KNOB = Potassium + Nitrogen + Oxygen + Boron
STUPID = Sulfur + Tritium + Uranium + Phosphorus + Iodine + Deuterium
VOW = Vanadium + Oxygen + Tungsten

Sorry, envirozentinel. The symbol for Argon is "Ar". On Wrong Planet thread, the rules break you!

AlCoHoLiSm = aluminum + cobalt + holmium + lithium + samarium

Then the periodic table in an old science encyclopedia of mine is wrong! It gives it as A. must be a typo as I see no evidence that it changed.

I see its Ar.

CuBa - copper+barium.
