electricity

Electricity is one of the utilities deemed essential by modern Western culture. It is carried through pipes by ‘electrons’, distinguishing it from gas and water which are carried by gasons and hydrons, respectively.

Electricity can be used for all manner of useful tasks, providing light, heat, sound, moving pictures, static pictures and electric shocks. Whether being used to power an electric shaver or being applied directly to the chest of your worst enemy to put their heart into fibrillation, electricity is a handy tool for all the family.

It is measured in units of ‘units’, widely suspected to be an ambiguous ruse by the electricity companies to squeeze money from their clientelle.
