when i first heard the term "prompt critical" in re: nuclear physics i did not know there were "prompt neutrons", so i didn't know where the term came from. i did assume it was a term of art that would make more sense if i looked it up, but i preferred to just read "prompt" as a kind of intensifier. as a result, my internal narrative has included sentences like "this car is Prompt Fucked" for many years

To be fair, prompt criticality is absolutely a "this reactor is Prompt Fucked" situation.
