There is a nonzero chance this was intentional. There is a long tradition; an article about the “Queen Mary” vessel being cleaned was allegedly titled “Queen Mary Having Bottom Scraped”.

They didn't intentionally make up the common particle physics term 'hadron'.

Note, you can make wordplay without making up words. Especially if a word is commonly[1] misspelled.

What is the intentional wordplay here though? Just the mention of hadron? I don't think that really clears the bar to even single entendre.
