dihydrogen monoxide 

dihydrogen monoxide: It's more commonly known as water. You know, the substance that every single living being relies on to survive? The origins of this item are multifold, from flyers circulated at the University of California at Santa Cruz in 1989 (so 20th century!) to a junior high school student who surveyed 50 classmates in 1997 and got 43 of them to sign his petition to ban the chemical. He then won a prize at his science fair for his project, called "How Gullible Are We?" Several Web pages touting the chemical's dangers are still live. Don't feel too bad if you've ever fallen victim to this hoax; even a government official in New Zealand took the bait last year.

Dihydrogen monoxide 

Dihydrogen monoxide (DHMO) is a combination of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen (di = 2, mon = 1), which creates H2O. It is a completely safe element, but a hoax that was created in the 1990's as an April Fools joke got popular that said that DHMO was a chemical that was a substance that was contained in things such as acid rain, nuclear power plants, etc.
John: "Have you heard about the chemical Dihydrogen monoxide? I read that it was really dangerous and it's even in our water and food!"

Steve: "No, that is just water. Do more research and don't believe everything you read online."

Dihydrogen Monoxide 

Dihydrogen Monoxide is a prevalent compound that is the key ingredient in most pesticides. DHMO contributes to environmental hazards such as acid rain, the greenhouse effect, and soil erosion. DHMO poisoning causes a sometimes fatal electrolyte imbalance in the bloodstream, and can cause excessive sweating, increased urination, and sometimes vomiting. Dihydrogen Monoxide also reacts explosively with alkaline earth metals such as lithium, sodium, potassium etc.
Prolonged, unprotected exposure to solid DHMO, or inhaling it can be fatal.
Despite these dangers, DHMO is used ubiquitously by industries, and is readily available to the public.

Dihydrogen Monoxide 

Dihydrogen Monoxide (or DHMO) is a tongue in cheek conspiracy theory that claims said substance is extremely dangerous, can cause burns, death, etc., when in reality, dihydrogen monoxide is the scientific name for water, as H2O is its chemical formula.
Person 1: Careful! There might be DHMO in your water!
Person 2: Dihydrogen Monoxide IS water.

dihydrogen monoxide 

Dihydrogen Monoxide (DHMO) is a colorless and odorless chemical compound, also referred to by some as Dihydrogen Oxide, Hydrogen Hydroxide, Hydronium Hydroxide, or simply Hydric acid. Its basis is the unstable radical Hydroxide, the components of which are found in a number of caustic, explosive and poisonous compounds such as Sulfuric Acid, Nitroglycerine and Ethyl Alcohol.
For more detailed information, including precautions, disposal procedures and storage requirements, refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Dihydrogen Monoxide.
...Dihydrogen monoxide is water/H20.
Dihydrogen Monoxide as a toxic or carcinogenic substance (as it does with better known chemicals such as hydrochloric acid and saccharine), DHMO is a constituent of many known toxic substances, diseases and disease-causing agents, environmental hazards and can even be lethal to humans in quantities as small as a thimbleful.

Utility beer 

Utility beer is the beer you keep around for the day-to-day moments when beer is a necessity to assist in pedestrian activities (golf, plumbing, yardwork, babysitting, staff meetings, Zoom calls). For the beer snob it is the beer you save for neighbors when they drop in at 3 p.m. on a Tuesday. It is differentiated from the actual high-end beer you save for special events, holidays, and special tastings.
Person 1: Dave, did you bring along those hazy craft IPA's so we could drink while cleaning Lyle's pool?
