Phosphorescent

Filed Under P 

I’m a sucker for scientific words, but I’m also a fan of melodious, mysterious-sounding words with antiquated, mysterious, romanticized alchemy-meets-Poe connotations.

“Phosphorescent” is both, plus it’s downright fun to say. There isn’t really a good alternative to it, either. There’s no other umbrella term to conjure up a cool, eerie, chemical glow without becoming too specific. “Glow-in-the-dark” is just lame compared to my favorite.
