one of my intern cohorts upon seeing a bunch of starch granules in an algal TEM: "are these cells kinda... fat?"

Chonkus sounds like the name of a videogame boss.

You beat the "chonky" cyanobacteria. You think you're safe and you're going to use all that EXP on upgrading your armor, then suddenly you're greeted to a gigantic health bar which takes up the entire width of the screen, with the name "CHONKUS" above it.
