The funniest part is nobody officially recognizes this as a name.

Define nobody. I've heard this joke from at least high school and I'm over 40. My teacher pulled it on my class, and probably every class he had.

Go to any institution and scientific journal. You will never see this name. Nobody uses it aside from like you just said jokes and whatnot officially its never used. It's scientific name is water. Good luck finding this in anything published for peer review.

Ah, I didn't realize you meant it that way. I have no argument against that, nor do I desire to have one.
