Pronunciation: high dro jents

Sentence: Freddie always thought himself as one of life's hydrogents. He enjoyed his bottle of water everywhere and while recycling 64 ounces of the fluid behind a tree in the park, accidentally exposed himself to a policeman. It was then he realized that you don't buy the bottle of water, you only rent it. It was also then that he finally realized why his co-workers nicknamed him Liberace...because he was the peeanist in the group!

Etymology: hydrogen (H2O) & gentleman (man of refinement)
