span class="entryword">inflatable titanium - (n.) An astonishingly light, strong, versatile, and (alas!) fictional material, from which are made (1) any remarkably constructed buildings, (2) seemingly gravity-defying structures, (3) improbably still-standing things (following indiscriminate massacres, blanket or nuclear bombings, or stupefying natural disasters), (4) surprisingly resilient balloons or other inflatable toys, (5) wished-for (preferably indestructible) replacement parts, or anything else desired but unobtainable. [An analogy from a Star Trek movie's plot device called "transparent aluminum" (which is weird, since that what rubies and sapphires are made of)].
