buckminsterfullerene

An extremely stable, ball-shaped carbon molecule, composed of 60 carbons, reminiscent of a soccer ball, and believed to occur naturally in soot as well as in extraterrestrial debris.

The fact that you looked this up on UD means you are an uber nerd and that you will probably never get laid.

Can be used in many ways, to fascinate, to confuse, and to just outright out do someone.

Fun short form: Bucky balls

"Name a big molecule."
"Glucose!"
"Buckminsterfullerene!"

"Are you playing God with the molecular model carbons, Master Bell?"
"No, sir, I'm making buckminsterfullerene."

"Look, bucky balls!!!"
"Where?!?!"
*runs away*
