Meet AirJelly, the flying robot jellyfish
AirJelly is electric. AirJelly runs on lithium. AirJelly is full of gas. But AirJelly cannot be described—there is no language for such abysms of shrieking and immemorial lunacy, such eldritch contradictions of all matter, force, and cosmic order. After vigintillions of years great AirJelly is loose again, and ravening for delight.
AirJelly is also available through all quality industrial supply catalogs.

It seems like there's some sort of linguistic arms race taking place among the bb gadgets bloggers . . . Everybody launching volleys of the sorts of words that get you high scores on the GRE.

Alas, that was just a Lovecraft quote... But thanks! Mr. Lovecraft offers an inexhaustible supply of that kind of talk.
