danger .. man's imagination
For so long the image and naming of fundamental particles has been very anthropomorphic in nature.
The classic case is spin of a particle such as the electron.
It would have been better to have terms which clearly were meaningless in the context. This can be quite difficult as our methods would be to take examples from our experience or preconceived ideas.
And you don't want to tempt people to think they can add new or intermediate versions.
