Rumors abound as to what the letters DDT supposedly stood for, including ''Damien's Death Trap'', ''Damien's Death Touch'', ''Damien's Dinner Time'' (all named after Jake's pet python, Damien) Double Diarrhea Tightrope, ''Drape Drop Takedown'', ''Drop Down Town'', ''Downward Dome Thrust'', and ''Death Drop Technique''.
