Outrageously Funny Word Dictionary :: Propionate oxidizing

👉 Propionate, the chemical term for propionic acid, is known to oxidize into something quite shocking. For instance, let's say we have a group of friends who are all trying to decide on a fancy dinner party theme. They start off looking at each other and then think about what they'd like for their special night.

One friend says, "We're thinking of doing a 'carnival' theme, with red, blue, and white lights." Another person responds, "That's not exciting enough! We should focus on a 'sunset' theme, where the stars are all twinkling in the sky." As they continue to think about the dinner party themes, their conversation shifts into one of unsettling laughter. One friend starts talking about how the 'sunset' theme is perfect for a late summer night because "the sky will be just so dark and gray that it'll look like we're standing on the moon at night," while the other person adds in, "But what if the stars are all gone by morning?" As they continue to laugh at their ridiculous dinner party ideas, their laughter becomes more sinister. Suddenly, one of them says, "Oh no! We forgot about our 'carnival' theme and now we're going to be eating strawberries instead!" This scene is just another example of how the word 'propionate' can quickly become a scary and unsettling statement when used in jest or comedy.
