Well in Star Trek they actually do use physics references for a lot of stuff, though yes they do just make up random stuff that sounds jargony too. And, I won't begrudge you to use as many actual scientific terms as you see fit, like pinching off a garden hose! That analogy made no sense... Anyway, I'm just talking about the "futuring up" of things like, well, Tek Jenson Alpha Squad Seven does it best in it's parodies of the same.
"Meganight hit the dark side of the 3rd moon of the super sun in hypermegasuperspacetime6."
That's the sort of thing to be careful of. The explanation for that term makes sense though, carry on. As you are well aware you are basically getting opinions from big cell piles each with it's own distinct tastes.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
