The word Satin is derived from the arabic (I think it's arabic) word for The Prosecutor.

Satin was an angel that questioned every decision that God made. Thus he acted
like a Prosecutor.

The arabic word for Prosecutor is El Satan (Sa like Salt, and Tan rhymes with Bahn).

Tue Jun 18, 2013, 09:03 PM
Jun 2013
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/satin

Origin:
1325–75; Middle English satyn < Middle French satin, probably < Arabic zaytūnī (satin) of Zaitun a city in China where the cloth was made, probably Tsinkiang
via Old French from Arabic zaitūnī of Zaytūn, Arabic rendering of Chinese Tseutung (now Tsinkiang ), port in southern China from which the cloth was probably first exported

Yet he was flexible and had to ability to form to complex contours.

Then there's the fact that he was running against Nylon. Which we all know was nothing more than a product of Big Oil, and I've never been able to stand how he just melts when things really get heated.
