9,1,1-Trichloroethane

Sarcastic term used for any toxic compound, often spoken in an anxious/alarmed tone of voice to indicate the speaker's horror or distress at even the thought/possibility of said chemical being used, and implying to any listeners that he fears that the use of said chemical might very likely necessitate calling 911.
Homeowner: Now, wait a sec --- I got toddlers and pets, remember! You’re not gonna use some kinda dangerous 9,1,1-Trichloroethane-crap on my floor, are you?
Carpet-cleaning service guy: Oh, no, Ma'am --- this is all environmentally-friendly detergent --- 100% natural and biodegradable ingredients.
