What if water is also the oldest nickname and its been so long that we forgot what the real name was
Anyone who discovers water’s actual name would have total power over it and command all the seas. Turns out water was actually an eldritch demon whose only purpose was to create a legion of legions of living creatures entirely dependent on it for their survival. One day the being that is water will be ready and their grander plans will see us all conquering the stars.
You need to relax, bud.
That’s actually speculated to be the case with the word “bear.” There was a superstition that saying its true name might summon it.
Dihydrogen monoxide.
Probably was like walterburg fluid and eventually simplified to waduh

ITT: the reason water doesn’t have a nickname.
I dunno I kinda like Dr. Watts
It was grandfathered in from when there was no competition, and therefore no need for nicknames. “I need a drink” simply meant water. The beverage.
I play games with friends and between matches I always say “brb getting a drink”. And you’re right, it’s always water.

Faucet dew? Plumbweiser? No water puns in Englishland?
Edit: Fountain dew!
Wawa? H²0? The drink (golf term)?
Round where I’m from (north of England) people call it “council pop”. I suppose the equivalent for the US would be “EPA soda” or “state cola” or something.
It’s been called Adam’s Ale since at least 1643 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam’s_ale
When my little sister was about 3 she would only drink juice. One night i grabbed the juice pitcher, an empty jar and pretended too mix up some juice for her (we always had the frozen juice concentrate), as i poured a glass for her she asked what kind of juice is was. I said ‘it is clear juice.’
I am in my 40s now, and she still asks me if i want a glass of clear juice.
My preschool teacher called it “sky juice.”
I grew up in the desert, but our ground water is really high (places where it is wet at 13”). We probably would have called it ground juice instead.

Earth-juice is more fitting.
Comet-vomit is when you projectile vomit.
sky juice is what they call drinking water in some parts of Malaysia.
I mean, I say gimme a glass of h2o. I mean… I know it’s the atoms but it’s kinda a nickname.
It’s an even more formal name.
It’s “Sir H2O” to get the right amount of formal.
Coochie juice lol
I’ve heard a few old timers call it “Adam’s Ale”, so it has at least one
