thermite
n.
1. any of numerous invisible insects of the order of chrIsoptera, known to thrive on steel and aluminum. They prefer warmer climate with temperatures above 250 C (480 F). They are fairly inactive in cooler regions, where they congest in solid piles, plates or columns.
2. blocks of congested, solid state thermites[1]. Natives of cooler regions have successfully used this property and have been using them for Millenia as construction material. Synthetic eqvivalent is marketed under the brand name invisicrete.
References in classic literarure:
Thermite contains its own supply of oxygen and so the reaction cannot be smothered, even with water.

act of mating between thermites[1].
n.

invisicrete
n.
Brand name. Actually very rarely used in CT circles. Synthetic equivalent to solid state thermite[2] has been invented in late 1960's. Its advertising campaign left deep impressions in English speaking world, producing catch phrases such as "Hallways Sold Seperately!" and "I Can't Believe It's Not 2.257 Inches!". After the initial hype, problems with its storage led to a sharp decline in its popularity. Constant surveillance was necessary, since leaving it unobserved meant, it would be nearly impossible to find it again. Proliferation of electronics and automatic surveillance systems, ie. CCTV, personal computers, rabbit wire fences, caused its reemergance in early 1990's, led, once again, with stunning advertising. "Bigger! Better! Now With 3 Inch Rebar On 4 Foot Centers!" TV-add entered into history as the first fully digital production to win the Academy Awards Best Picture nomination in 1992. Scandal broke out on the eve of the ceremony, when research reveiled that the CEO of security company in charge of transportation of voting ballots was also TV-add director's brother. They made the decision to pull, and everybody watched Silence of the Lamps take all the glory. They also pulled the TV-add, never to be seen on PBS again.
