Other misnomers


After yesterday’s revelation that Nathan knew nothing about ‘Revolver’ by The Beatles, I wasted some time at work today thinking of other things that shared names, but didn’t share the same value. Understand? No, me neither, but here’s the list:

“TITANIC” - Ultra-successful film; non-successful boat
“CLIFF” - beautiful landscape feature; terrible singer
“SCHOOL“ - lovely gathering of fish; horrible place to spend childhood
“HEART” - Vital internal organ; over-rated girl group
“HOUSE” - entertaining TV show; expensive building to live in
“GOLD” - shiny, pricey metal; whiny, 80s pop-shit
“JORDAN” - Beautiful (if troubled) country; Unbeautiful (and troublemaking) slut

And before you write and complain, I know they’re not technically ‘misnomers’ but who cares? Really?
