Honestly a fan of "corrosive"

I specifically wanna be pentaborane, because it has the rare honor of a perfect score on the fire safety diamond. Highly flammable, highly toxic, highly reactive, explodes on contact with air, explodes on contact with water, and lethal amounts can absorb through your skin (if it even gets that far). It was actually considered as a possible jet or rocket fuel in the 1950s and earned the nickname "Green Dragon" because it burns green. But the US government ended up rejecting it because even its exhaust is poisonous. It is in fact so dangerous that the government's supply of it sat in storage until 2000 because that's how long it took to invent a safe disposal method - a procedure whose actual scientific name is Dragon Slayer.

Dangerous when wet 👀

- Look, I'm not afraid of water. I can swim fine. I was a lifeguard ffs. But the water here is always cold, and I'm almost always wearing leather boots amd work pants. I'm not afraid of water, I'm afraid of getting wet. I'll get very angry if I get wet, because how then am I supposed to get dry? Dangerous when wet describes me well.

  I might have to print it and put it on a lanyard. Or it sometimes feels like that.

- Crisis should be crises, plural. I believe this is an example of faulty parallelism.

  I considered that spelling as well. I think the plural and singular both fit.

It's just Safety Data Sheet now. Calling them Materials was dehumanizing.

I'm non-flammable non-toxic gas—I'm not dangerous, I just take up a lot of space.

Alternatively, the big X not to be confused with the dead bird site's new name
