2. What does the "WD" stand for?

And what was its first application?

3. water displacement

second answer the same as the first

[underpants]

6. Yes. I thought the second answer was the Space Shuttle but I was wrong.

The spray, composed of various hydrocarbons, was originally designed to be used by Convair to protect the outer skin of the Atlas missile from rust and corrosion.[11][12] This outer skin also functioned as the outer wall of the missile's delicate balloon tanks. WD-40 was later found to have many household uses[1] and was made available to consumers in San Diego in 1958.[11]

12. I've heard of people using that on their joints. It has the chemical DMSO, I think.

What is DMSO?, https://www.healthline.com/health/what-is-dmso
Wear gloves when handling with solvents, chemicals and hot peppers my friends.
I'd stick with the golden raisins soaked in gin.
