Euphemism for Sci-Fi

What is the euphemism used for science that is a little too close to Sci-Fi?
It's "pseudoscience". That's what "Darpa's Handheld Nuclear Fusion Reactor" was called when it got shelved.

The part I did like was the miniature particle accelerator. Who needs a laser gun if you've got a Higgs Boson accelerator ring? Eat your heart out Sauron.
