Oh, my! I finally learned how to say "silicone" in German. Actually, you can use either of two words. I guess the first has come into the language recently from English, since it is simply "das Silikon"

The second word, which I can only assume is a more pure form of German, or else a more technical name, sounds almost indecent!

das Polyorganosiloxan

Should I be blushing!?
