Break down the name:

Di means 2
Hydrogen
mono means 1
Oxide means oxygen

The standard chemical moniker "dihydrogen monoxide" for water (which is exactly what it is) was first widely popularized by Nathan Zohner, a High School student in Idaho Falls, who wanted to highlight how scientifically illiterate the vast majority of the population are. He ALMOST succeded in getting the State to put warnings on babyfood that contained this "lethal solvent", since (naturally) it will kill you if inhaled! Think about it; water is dangerous stuff....it erodes rock, it drowns people, it will crush you to death if too much is on top of you....but these things are true of almost anything!

It's water but read the wikipedia link about the hoax

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydrogen_monoxide_hoax
There is a number of sites about this!!

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.

What you may find surprising are some of the products and places where DHMO is used, but which for one reason or another, are not normally made part of public presentations on the dangers to the lives of our family members and friends. Among these startling uses are: as an additive to food products, including jarred baby food and baby formula, and even in many soups, carbonated beverages and supposedly "all-natural" fruit juices
in cough medicines and other liquid pharmaceuticals,
in spray-on oven cleaners,
in shampoos, shaving creams, deodorants and numerous other bathroom products,
in bathtub bubble products marketed to children,
as a preservative in grocery store fresh produce sections,
in the production of beer by all the major beer distributors,
in the coffee available at major coffee houses in the US and abroad,
in Formula One race cars, although its use is regulated by the Formula One Racing Commission, and
as a target of ongoing NASA planetary and stellar research.
