Have you looked at the name of the different particles? There is a lot of whismy in physics. Not all of it accessible to someone not "in the know".
Hehe, I thought about including the name of quarks as another example. It's funny that you mention them as well. For those who are wondering, quarks have "flavors" which are named: up, down, top, bottom, charm, and strange. I believe there may be other theoretical particles with even stranger names, but I can't remember them now. Anyway, back to the topic.
