What if water is also the oldest nickname and its been so long that we forgot what the real name was
Anyone who discovers water’s actual name would have total power over it and command all the seas. Turns out water was actually an eldritch demon whose only purpose was to create a legion of legions of living creatures entirely dependent on it for their survival. One day the being that is water will be ready and their grander plans will see us all conquering the stars.

I’d a mate that called it council pop.
It was grandfathered in from when there was no competition, and therefore no need for nicknames. “I need a drink” simply meant water. The beverage.
I play games with friends and between matches I always say “brb getting a drink”. And you’re right, it’s always water.

In Scotland it’s called “Cooncil Juice”
The Dutch use “gemeente pils” which means local government beer. So that is pretty similar.
