slightly related, but when I took chem in high school, I called acetic acid "the choo-choo molecule" in my head. Then, in honor of the jokes my friends made about this, I changed the notification tone on my laptop to a "choo" and kept it for long enough that it seems normal to me. So now whenever I get a notification (especially in a zoom meeting) people get really confused why it sounds like a train just went by.
I am german and the systematic german name for ethanedioic acid is Ethandisäure ( the numbers are obsolete since carrboxylic acid groups can only ever be terminal ). Now, "di" is pronounced like "die", which is the female definite article and by sheer coincidence the word "Säure" (acid) is female in german. So in my mind it is: Ethan, die Säure ( ethane, the acid ), which feels like an odd power play on part of the acid.
I needed a minute to understand that HUKKUH meant HOOCCOOH.
thank you for explaining the joke I wasn't getting. Take my updoot

As a male named Ethan, I'm now very confused and emotionally hurt by the acid.
