Without looking it up in the dictionary, can anyone tell me what dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane is?

An insecticide that is also toxic to animals and humans.

As the dictionary puts it more fluently:

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

Yeah, I had that one memorized when I was 11. j/k.

The "di," "chloro," and "ethane" give it away as being the name of a chemical, but DDT isn't the first thing that comes to mind.

Way to go Joel, you actually learned that word about the same time us I did. Isn't that amusing?

I think you should tell us the story you're brewing up about this chemical.
