'''Water,''' also known by its [[Wikipedia:Chemical formula|chemical formula]] '''H2O,''' is a chemical compound composed of [[hydrogen]] and [[oxygen]] that, at room temperature, exists as a tasteless and odorless liquid. It was first referenced in [[Smosh Productions Inc.|Smosh]] media in "[[Oh, the Joys of Puberty]]," a [[2002]] [[Smosh.com]] [[Smosh Articles|article]] written by [[Ian Hecox]].

== Description ==
Water, also known by its [[Wikipedia:Chemical formula|chemical formula]] H2O, is a chemical compound composed of [[hydrogen]] and [[oxygen]] that, at room temperature, exists as a tasteless and odorless liquid. Frozen water is called [[ice]], and water can also exist in a gaseous form as water vapor or steam. It is essential to life, and many organisms depend on it for various biological processes. It appears colorless in small quantities but is intrinsically blue &mdash; due to a slight absorption of light at red wavelengths &mdash; and appears as such in large quantities. Since it normally occurs on [[Earth]] in liquid form, water is used for transportation and recreation by [[human]]s, a habitat by marine plants and animals, and nourishment for both plant and animal life.<ref name="OTJOP" />

== Fictional history ==
In [[2002]], fifteen-year-old [[Ian Hecox (character)|Ian Hecox]] recounted a series of negative experiences he had while undergoing [[puberty]] in an [[article]] on the [[website]] [[Smosh.com]] while under threat from a group of [[killer gnomes]]. In the article, he used the euphemism "let[ing] loose the water of the [[dam]]s" to refer to his repeated involuntary [[orgasm]]s while at [[Unidentified school ("Oh, the Joys of Puberty")|his school]].<ref name="OTJOP" />
