Inconguities

 Here are some incongruities that have struck me:

1. Fairy Liquid - the iconic advert, as well as the product, shows a baby, not a fairy. Fairy has never used a fairy in its advertising.
2. Dog owners tend to punish puppies that have pooped in the house by rubbing their noses in the poo - a puppy is an animal that will spend the rest of its life smalling other dogs' arses, so how can that be a punishment?
3. "Daylight Saving Time" – We say we're "saving" daylight, but we don't actually save anything. We’re just shifting the clocks forward or backward, and yet somehow, it's supposed to make sense.
4. "Flammable" and "Inflammable" mean the same thing – You’d think “in-” would mean the opposite, like it does in words such as “invisible” or “inconsistent,” but not here. Both words indicate something can catch fire easily.
5. Why do we put round pizzas in square boxes? The pizza is always round, and the box is square. Why not just make a round box or square pizzas.
6. British food has a bad reputation, but only if made properly.
7. The term anti-Semitism specifically refers to hostility or prejudice against Jews, yet a Semite is anyone from the Semitic language-speaking group, which includes Arabs.

Come on - think of more.
