That's.. Not how words work. Like, a silverfish is not a type of fish, bench dog is not a type of dog, etc.

Silverfish is called so because it looks like a silvery fish. Bench dog in woodworking is something that holds things.

But what is my point they are not fish and a dog(animal) so the words don't always hold exact meaning.
