Opening exposition that involves silly names for things ...

There's examples if good exposition (see: the start of Mad Max 2) but anything that starts with shit like

"They came from the skies, mysteriously, the monsters we now call the Xergifaltuns. With their Spiglyzarfix weapons we didn't stand a chance ..."

Yeah, it's going to be rubbish.
