Inspired by my wordplay on "dorky" that I just did on
alt.music.s-mclachlan , here is one for "geek".

geek --> g ee k

g=gravity
ee=electrical engineering, so lets say electomagnetics

k will bring them together.

Now k can have many meanings in physics I think, but
the one that comes to mind for me is wavenumber
but that does not lead to an obvious linkage in
my mind but perhaps you can think of another meaning
for k that might.

And perhaps that would be the kee of g
(key of g).

On afterthought, perhaps the k in question must be
that in the diffusion equation, not necessarily
for heat and in time, which in LaTeX is:

\begin{equation}
\frac{\partial U}{\partial x}=k\nabla^2 U\,.
\end{equation}

Anyway, play with that, and let me know if you get anywhere,
or if you get stuck and want further clues, and if you get anywhere
also PLEASE reference this newsgroup post by MessageID
or google groups URL of the post or failing that (if
it is an old post not in the google groups archive
and you don't have the MessageID by subject line, from
line, and time/date posted by me). Then if you get
a Nobel Prize for doing all the hard work I will be in
your reference list for providing the seed idea or
in some cases just clue without which you would not
have gotten that Nobel Prize, and in certain cases
may even be regarded as a collaborator. ***, if
I get a significant verbal clue from a colleague
at a conference I reference it as a personal communication,
and newsgroup posts are typed archive material
which likewise, or even more so, must be referenced
if they provide inspiration, seed ideas, or sometimes
even more extensive ideas. That applies to more
than just physicists.

Followups set to sci.physics .
