Better way to word it is: “Treat every gun as if it is loaded”
Maybe instead of starting with a hole, one player gets to choose which 2x2 to remove? It would have to be early on to ensure there is always a few empty 2x2s to choose from.
So maybe black chooses the 2x2 to remove and then white makes their first move. That way black gets a bit of an advantage since white moves first.
Best guess I heard was broken medical equipment leaked cesium

From explain xkcd:
Polyethylvinylesteracetate
This appears to be a reference to Poly (ethylene-vinyl acetate), some formulations of which can be used as the adhesive in hot-glue guns. Vinyl acetate is an ester, so the inclusion of that term is redundant. The cadence of the constructed word may also be a reference to the television episode Lucy Does a TV Commercial and its memorable product “Vitameatavegamin”. It also resembles the kind of thing often seen in ingredients lists for common household products such as soaps and cleaners, which are fairly meaningless to the average person buying them.
2-Polyethylvinylesteracetate
This sounds almost exactly the same as the above item, but a name with a “2-” prefix generally indicates that the initial bit of the name is a functional group attached to the second position along a chemical chain (often being the carbon-carbon ‘spine’ of a molecule, in large-molecule organic chemistry), rather than attached to its end. Because the molecule name is (possibly deliberately) malformed, it’s hard to tell what is supposed to be attached to the second carbon of what subunit.
