  Geologically, ice is a mineral, aka a rock. If lava is just rock heated past its melting point, water is lava.

    Henceforth, when walking on a frozen lake or river, one must declare that the floor is lava!

  Metal is also elastic.

  But that doesn’t mean metal is plastic or elastic in terms of material type, just the English sucks.

    Yeah words have special meanings in special regimes. There are a lot of regimes these days, with so much known about so many specialities. We could spend all day noting use of words that make sense within a particular science or engineering field but would be funny in casual conversation .

      No. In astronomy, everything heavier than hydrogen or helium is referred to as metals. So, a star’s metallicity would be including carbon, oxygen etc.
