Pigmalion

Pigmalion: noun. Unlike Pygmalion, pigmalion is what happens when too many ions are present within a pig,  often leading to catastrophic results. The dangerousness of such pig usually depends on how many ions are present inside it and what element they come from. For example, a pig with ten grammes of hydrogen ions is less dangerous than a pig with twenty grammes of hydrogen ions and far less dangerous than a pig containing 30 grammes of plutonium ions. The word itself had been derived from the roots "pig," "mal" and "ion," the "mal" part pertaining to the results of letting such pig into the civilised world.
