So is dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. Does it mean:
a white, crystalline, water-insoluble solid, C14H9Cl5, usually derived from chloral by reaction with chlorobenzene in the presence of fuming sulfuric acid: used as an insecticide and as a scabicide and pediculicide: agricultural use prohibited in the U.S.
(used as a nonsense word by children to express approval or to represent the longest word in English.)
