Si:Ge


Explanation:
This abbreviation means of course silicon-germanium, ie one of the most basic compounds in semiconductor technology, but if you want to show you know the rope, you use the abbreviation.

This also gives a chance to be funny. Other important compounds include Si:Li (silicon and lithium) pronounced the same way as 'silly', and Ge:Li, pr. as
`jelly'.
