Kate,
It all goes back
To all the geeks who invented this stuff
Spending way too much time in the lab
Instead of interacting with their fellow human beings

This results in an excess of pent-up energy
Which often results in an
Excess of sexually charged terminology.

It does make good poetry, though.
Mike
