Good question.

“Organic” chemistry, and by extension the use of “organic compounds” as an expression for hydrocarbons is due to the importance of Carbon molecules in living organisms.

They’re not called organic because (for instance) they’re harvested from Chinese prisons and Coma victims, and then sold to the highest bidder. Though that would be cool.

What’s all this talk about orgasmic chemistry? In my day, we never spoke openly...

Oh, never mind.
