I'm gonna go full wacky (spaghetti on the wall) and send you my full collections of FUNNY NAMES THAT AREN'T WHAT THEY SEEM:
  • Holy Roman Empire wasn't holy(?), wasn't Roman, and wasn't much of an empire
  • MMT isn't modern, isn’t monetary, and isn’t theory.
  • Golden gate bridge isn't golden (but red)
  • Oxford commas aren't used in official Uni of Oxford style
  • A French press (Coffee) isn’t French; and in French it’s merely called “la prese”
  • Ninety Mile Beach in New Zealand is exactly 55 miles long
  • A British "hundredweight", (a "long" hundredweight) is a commodity with mass equal to... 112 pounds.
  • The pope in Rome doesn't have "Pope" in his title; the Patriarch of Constantinople --who's not a pope -- has "Pope" in his title.
Yeah, fuck knows why I collect these
