Missed Opportunity

I totally should have renamed the Pauli Exclusion Principle in the 'verse “fermionic homophobia”, 'cause that’s exactly what it is: particles (or at least fermions) really don’t want to hang around any other particles that are the same as them.

(And it reinforces the otherwise unmade point that local society never found any need for Earth’s linguistic perversion of the latter term.)

((An observation made when making notes on the upscaled fulgurator known as the lightning ballista, the four electron-accelerator arms surrounding the fulgurator spire giving it a resemblance sufficient to prompt the name.))
