Like “does the Pope shit in the woods?” or “that train has sailed?”

Also, what good examples can you think of?

    PERC

    Perchloroethylene (aka tetrachloroethene) is a completely non-polar compound, so, yes, it is a dry liquid.

      Fair enough. My initial quick google research implied otherwise.

      I’m not claiming to be an expert, although I’m not finding anything that uses the term dry liquid to refer to Tetrachloroethylene. Sounds to me like another misnomer. But, I won’t say you’re wrong.
