And since you mentioned seals. We call various forms of gaskets and o-rings "seals," but we never see seals basking in the sun or swimming in the ocean and call them gaskets or o-rings.

And why do we say that a door is "ajar," but we never say that a jar is a door.

Why, why, why......? Icon_neutral
