So Peter Higgs, the guy who comes up with the God particle doesn’t want us calling it that anymore because (a) he’s an atheist and (b) it was a joke. But calling the God particle the Higgs boson is not gonna be an improvement. Because it sounds like breasts, not just any breasts, but breasts of a misspelled, old-fashioned variety that go with the kind of strangely-ribbed pink underwear that some kid’s grandma, gripped by a spirit of fierce conservation, turns into the face of a sixth birthday present doll. If that’s what the universe is made of, oh Jesus.
