ALT One element might say to another "You've been electron-ized" when he takes his stuff. This is a play on words, as in chemistry electrons are negatively charged particles that orbit the nucleus of an atom. Taking someone's stuff can be referred to as "getting robbed" or "getting taken" and in this case the play on words is "electron-ized" , as if the element has lost electrons, and hence its properties have changed. This is a light-hearted and playful way to use chemistry terms and concepts to make a joke. It is important to note that elements don't have the ability to own or take something, as they are not living organisms, but again this is a joke that uses elements to play with words.
