Who was the first person to use the term dinosaurs?
Richard Owen. In 1842, he coined the phrase 'dinosauria' which means 'terrible lizards' or 'terrible reptiles.' It was only used to define three different large reptiles that had been discovered at the time - Megalosaurus, Iguanodon and Hylaeosaurus. Other dinosaurs had been discovered at that time too, but hadn't been defined as in the same group as the other three yet. One notable example is Thecodontosaurus or the 'socket-toothed lizard,' a small prosauropod dinosaur from Bristol, UK. Its name eventually was given to the whole group that dinosaurs were thought to evolve from - the thecodonts, that first appeared in the Early Triassic period, following a massive extinction that wiped out over 90% of all life.

v-rexs are real they lived in the Triassic period. you can tell that a v and t-rex may have been cousins
The person who describes a new dinosaur (or a new species of anything) for the first time in the professional literature gets to name it. They usually use some derived Greek or Greek and Latin. (for example, "Tyranno-" means "king" in Greek, and "rex" means "king" in Latin).
Sometimes the names aren't very appropriate. Because it was smaller and didn't have the horns of the big horn-faced dinosaurs, "Protoceratops" was named as though it was a primitive form, but it actually lived at the same time as the others. One dinosaur was named "Oviraptor" or "egg thief" because the scientist thought it died while stealing the eggs of another dinosaur, but it was actually trying to protect its own eggs. One "dinosaur" was named "Basilosaurus" ("Basil" is yet another Greek word for "king") but it turned out to be a kind of whale.
Do humans drink dinosaurs pee?
Not so much. All of the water that has ever been on earth has been recycled through evaporation then rain or snow and so on since the earth began. So dinosaurs drank water and peed and the water was absorbed into the ground which filtered it and then it rose to the surface, evaporated, rained and so on. So yes it is the same water the dinosaurs used but any trace of dinosaur pee has long ago been filtered out.
